Unleash Your Inner Artist with Serendipitous Techniques Chameleon Flow
2025-06-13 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago) | House of Neville, 2409 Neville Street, Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
Today I’ll show you how to create a stunning abstract using the Chameleon technique (we’ll actually be applying silicone directly to a swipe with toothpicks)! As always, with an acrylic pour, no two will be alike and you may use whatever colors you wish!
However, in an acrylic pour painting class, you may elect to try a different flow painting technique. “Acrylic pours allow for a great deal of opportunity to indulge your inner artist using your favored colors and playing with variables. I’ll be happy to share what I know to assist” 😊

😉

As is often the case in Zan’s classes, emphasis will be on technique with encouragement to play with colors and forms if desired.

Geared toward the beginner and experienced painter alike, you will walk away empowered and excited to apply what you’ve learned!
Zan believes that the chance results that occur when using serendipitous techniques fosters increased creativity and an intimate connection with whatever medium one is working with. Hence, it is one of her favorite ways to connect herself and her students to their inner artist and it’s FUN too!!

Unleash Your Inner Artist with Serendipitous Techniques Celestial Meadow
2025-04-04 13:00 - 16:00 | House of Neville, 2409 Neville Street, Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
I had lots of fun creating ‘Celestial Meadow’ from a spectacular starscape photo on Unsplash by Nathan Anderson. First, we will do a value study (which I find just as awesome as the finished painting) and then we’ll glaze color directly over. 😊

As is often the case in Zan’s classes, emphasis will be on technique with encouragement to play with colors and forms if desired.

Geared toward the beginner and experienced painter alike, you will walk away empowered and excited to apply what you’ve learned!
Zan believes that the chance results that occur when using serendipitous techniques fosters increased creativity and an intimate connection with whatever medium one is working with. Hence, it is one of her favorite ways to connect herself and her students to their inner artist and it’s FUN too!!
