US Bank: Cheryl Hetherington- “Adventures in Fluid Acrylics” :It’s hard not to love painting techniques when they are called Triple flip-cup, Dirty pour, Double swipe, Sink strainer, and Tree ring pour. Fluid acrylic painting is such a joy — never ending techniques, styles and color combinations. So a free, abstract canvas full of color often appears to represent a scene from nature… That is the Adventure in Fluid Acrylics.
