Palette Knife Painting with Acrylics (14+)

Event Date: 
Sunday, August 13, 2023 - 2:00pm to 4:30pm

Palette knife painting is for everyone from beginners to professionals! Come learn how to create a palette knife painting from start to finish! Palette knife painting requires the artist to "let go" of details. Thick application of paint that results in a heavily textured surface is known as impasto painting. We’ll explore the ways that impasto texture affects light and shadow, on the surface of your painting. Working from reference photos you'll create an underpainting, and then learn to apply the paint using various palette knives. Acrylic paints lend themselves to palette knife paintings because they dry quickly and prevent any accidental muddying of colors, keeping them bright and clear. We only use 4 colors because you can mix anything you need from these 4 primary colors and white. No experience necessary. All supplies provided.
