Briana Coleman – Mastering Fluid Acrylic – Foundation Techniques

Fluid acrylic painting is both an art and a science

Yes, expressing yourself through the randomness of paint flowing across a canvas is fun! But if you’re looking for more predictable results, there are some principles you need to understand to master this art form.

Learning the principles will help you get cells without adding silicone oil,
keep your colors vibrant and not muddy
and avoid cracks as your piece dries.

That’s why I made this course. I want to share with you what I’ve learned while studying acrylic pouring for the last several years so you can stop feeling frustrated and build your pouring skills from a strong foundation that work in any pour painting.

This class helps you know what to expect before you flip the cup, and you can use these techniques to tweak and build your own unique style.

You’ll go from creating random, uncontrolled pours, to predictably beautiful art. And if you don’t learn to make more predictably beautiful pours, I’ll give you your money back, no questions asked for the first 30 days.

Who should take this course?
This course is perfect for:

Artists who are brand new to Acrylic Pouring and want to build from a strong foundation
Artists who make beautiful pours every once in a while, but don’t know why it worked
Current fluid artists who want to make professional-level art they can be confident selling
Those who’ve ever asked, “Which color should I put oil in?,” or “Why did my blue overpower all the other colors in my painting?,” or “Why did my colors mix together and turn to mud?”
Those who want a deeper understanding of paints and mediums
Those who have fun pouring, but want to take it to the next level

“I was already an established gallery-represented artist. While I was already making beautiful artwork what I wanted to learn was how to be more consistent in my approach to it. I luckily ran across Briana AKA “Indigoimpressions” Instagram and began to watch her videos and read her tips. What I saw in her was a “recipe”, a process which was consistent across the board…She clearly outlines the process of fluid art and executes it at a pace that anyone can understand. What I gained was a better understanding on the science behind fluid art…which was exactly what I needed when I wanted do pour for a more specific result. The lesson I learned was invaluable to me because I had an additional tool to keep creating beautiful artwork.”

– Brenden M. Spivey, Artist, MetalWorksStudios

“When I discovered fluid art I was so in love with the art form but at the same time I was completely clueless how I should begin with it as you get multiple formulas and techniques on the internet…and that very moment when I was about to give up, I ended up at her account on Instagram and it changed everything. I took her online class and found answers to all my doubts and queries…where everyone claims of knowing this art she owns it. She has explained every bit of it and I believe she is the right one to learn from! It’s worth every penny, just awesome.”

– Amy Mehta, Fluid Artist

“This affordable online course allowed me to learn an in-depth, yet concise, way to make fluid art paintings. After the course I tried her process and had immediate success creating cells!”

– Sarah G. Weaver, High School Art Teacher
