Blending Perfect Gradients
Learn how to achieve the clean, seamless gradients seen in Nick’s work by mastering blending tools, paint preparation, and timing to create smooth transitions that elevate any composition.
- Build and take home your own 16" custom blending brush used to create large, smooth gradients.
- Learn ideal paint brands, viscosity, additives, canvas prep, and timing needed to achieve clean blends without streaks or muddiness.
- Practice blending techniques on your own canvas and compete for a signed limited-edition print for the cleanest gradient.
Action Painting
Harness motion and physics to create intentional splashes, strikes, and energetic paint effects that add movement and excitement to your artwork.
- Learn techniques for paint strikes, splashes, spirals, and motion effects using proper paint consistency and tool setup.
- Develop flow-state awareness to understand when to push energy, show restraint, and stop for the strongest composition.
- Practice large-scale motions on a community canvas and leave with your own finished action painting.
Dustpan Pouring
Learn Nick’s signature dustpan pouring technique to create energetic, mind-bending paint effects while developing motion control that enhances overall composition.
- Practice dustpan pouring on pre-painted canvases matched to your skill level, with all materials provided.
- Learn paint ratios, additives, and movement techniques that produce the most striking pour effects.
- Practice motions on a large community canvas and leave with a collaborative Nick Bultman original painting.
Masking Mastery
Master advanced masking techniques that allow organic movement and crisp geometric layers to complement each other, creating layered compositions of chaos and order.
- Learn ideal tape selection, tack control, surface prep, and professional masking workflows for reliable, clean lines every time.
- Apply masking techniques directly on cured paintings canvases to practice building layered, geometric forms.
- Optional airbrush demonstrating spray fills, light effects and drop shadows for enhanced realism.
Advanced Geometries and World Building
Learn how I design complex painted worlds digitally and translate them into layered physical paintings using projection, masking, and airbrushing.
- Dive into the digital tools I use for designing complex geometric environments.
- Learn the workflow for projecting renders, masking layers, applying color, and building structured compositions on canvas.
- Practice integrating digital planning and structured geometry into your own paintings, in person.
Let's make magic
I’m excited to share that, for the first time, I’ll be teaching in-person classes that break down the principles, techniques, and behind-the-scenes process I use to create my paintings. My goal is for you to absorb these ideas, practice the techniques hands-on, and walk away with original work created during the class.
In each session, I’ll guide you through the theories and methods behind what I call Velocity Painting, helping you build practical skills you can immediately apply to your own creative practice. Each 3-hour class is designed to be small-group, hands-on, collaborative, and fun, and I’ll provide all materials so you can focus on learning and creating with confidence.
Since the event is hosted by the Fluid Art Experience (this their 7th annual!) in a hotel convention setting, you’ll also have the opportunity to take classes from other instructors, network with fellow artists, and connect with the larger creative community.
Hope to see you there!
