If you have been following Espasa for a while, you may have heard about Pour painting and the workshops I have been hosting in my studio and in Guildford. You may have even joined one! And if not… this is a warning: this technique can be a bit addictive!

Pour painting is a very fun technique, a great mindful exercise to play with colour. I have been using these paints from INK LAB and I am very happy with the results!

By the way, I am hosting Pour painting workshop coming up in July at Guildford Institute, see the details here.
