Explore a different and fun way to paint!

This workshop is for beginners and the more experienced painters alike, or anyone who’s ever been curious about what to do with and how to handle that little instrument.

Working with a palette knife, a clumsy instrument compared to a pencil, can help you to be more free and expressive in your paintings….even if you use a brush.

Participants will practice and experiment with using a palette knife as a painting knife.  Subject matter will include a landscape and a still life.

The workshop will be conducted in oil paint, preferred, but participants may use acrylic paints.

Materials provided:

2 canvas boards

Tabletop easels

Paper towels

Materials students will need to bring:

A metal palette knife (Not plastic…less control)

Medium such as Liquin

Brushes size 10 and 4 

(to use in conjunction with the knife)

A sketchbook

Pencil/eraser

Lunch
