Fluid Art with Hazel Beckett - acrylic pour workshops
Fun fluid acrylic pouring class for beginners and all levels
"I absolutely loved the triptych fluid art day. It worked so well with Hazel and her experience and expertise. It went and the right pace and very clear instruction." - Angie
Hazel's new Fluid Art workshops are a fun and stimulating way to explore your creativity - and it doesn't matter at all if you've done some painting or none at all!
Fluid Art, or Acrylic Pour involves creating art on canvas panels by mixing, pouring and then manipulating paints. You will achieve beautiful abstract paintings you'll love under Hazel's expert tuition - ready to be collected after a few days drying time.
Hazel runs two levels of workshop - Beginners Fluid Art (suitable for all levels) and Triptych Fluid Art (suitable for those who've done some fluid art before).

Each beginners workshop is 4 hours - enough time to learn the fundamental techniques, discover how the paints behave, and create at least two beautiful, vibrant and totally unique paintings,

- Step by step demonstrations
- Huge range of paints to try

About Hazel Beckett
Hazel has been a keen artist and photographer since she could pick up a pencil. She spent a long time working with ink until 5 years ago she discovered fluid acrylic art on Pinterest!
Since then she has honed her skills, learning from some of the top artists in the field.
Her fluid art often takes cues from nature, aiming to capture the motion of water or be inspired by the colours of a favourite landscape.
One of the things that drew Hazel to fluid art was the playful fluidity of vibrant colours in motion and (unlike other art forms) the need to let go of the outcome to achieve the best outcome!
