MEET THE ARTIST
Mike Beckwith will be here to discuss “fluid art”. How he tries to influence the flow of paint by tipping the canvas or even using blow dryers on the paint.
Beckwith used to use primarily acrylic paint, but now works increasingly with mixed media. Today he uses resin as well as acrylic paint, alcohol ink and sometimes even crushed glass or mica powder. In his work he has poured various solutions over tables, mirrors, panes of glass, and “anything that will support the weight.”
