Class Content: Palette knife painting is about layering paint. We will start by painting our canvas a base color and then using a palette knife to add many layers of paint as we create the final piece. We will be painting from a photograph of your choice so please bring several that you want to work from. You may wish to work on 2 pieces simultaneously so one can dry while you are working on the other one.
Supply List: Bring a photograph of your choice. We will be painting from a photograph. Bring one or two canvases of the size of your choice, acrylic paints and palette knives. I have palette knives that you are welcome to borrow if you do not have any of your own. A water container and brush to do your base painting before you start using the palette knife.
