Winter Strom Art
The day I learned how to create the bloom patterns changed my life. I was drawn to the technique because of its clear and distinct lacing and cells. I very soon realized the potential of this consistency based technique. There is so much more you can do with it than „just“ bloom.
I obsessively studied ingredients, and invented methods like the loaded palette knife swipe and the scoop and drag that lead to the transfer swipe.
I’m fascinated by coincidence, but intrigued by the amount of intention you can add. I love to experiment and go with the flow. I’m so happy to get to share the experiences I made in the last few years with you.
It’s gonna be a blast!

Day 1

HOW TO BLOOM SWIPE
8.30am - 11.30am
I will teach you everything I learned in the past years about the Bloom recipe and how
you can achieve beautiful cells with the right consistencies.
How and why does it work, what are the ingredients and how to mix them? Why is the
consistency so important? And what the heck is a Cell activator?!
We dive into swiping and how you can use it as your tool to create an intentional piece of fluid
art - in this case 4 beautiful coasters that you can take home.

INTRODUCTION TO SCOOPS & DRAGS
2:00pm - 5:00pm
In this intermediate class you will learn tips and tricks to manipulate your swipes or
blooms in a very intriguing way. Scoop it up and drag it out!
How to handle the amount of paint needed and how to use your palette knife in the right way.
We will also visit the related transfer swipe. I’m stoked to be able to teach you my trademark
technique!
I recommend the beginners class in addition, in case you have no experience or struggle with
getting cells.
Day 2

NEGATIVE SPACE SWIPE
8.30am - 11.30am
Less is more. We will put it into practice with a monochromatic color palette.
Restraining yourself is something I might not be able to teach you but we can try to tackle this
together and create a striking painting with minimal sophisticated vibes.
If you don’t have any experiences with this technique I recommend the beginners class in
addition so you can take your knowledge to the next level and really dive into this fascinating
technique.

HIDE & REVEAL “Aurora borealis” SOLD OUT!!
2:00pm - 5:00pm
** This class is sold out but the 5/25 2.00pm class with the same syllabus is still available currently.
Playing with layering, transparencies and light. This is a magical technique that always
shows it’s beauty with the spin when all the colors show their glow. We will learn how to layer
colors on top of our pillow before we start swiping to reveal the colors underneath a faux
pillow. This technique gives your swipes dimension, lots of depth and an almost galaxy feel. I'm
excited to show and teach you this method.
You should have some experience with the bloom recipe and done some swipes before or
taken my beginners class.
