This class is an introduction to painting with palette knives! It will cover some fundamental techniques and solutions which are useful for working with palette knives. In each lesson, I will explain 1 technique and together, we are going to make a little exercise to give content to your booklet.
When I was a teenager, my Art History Teacher let us make a small booklet in which we practiced different art styles such as Pointillism, Cubism, Art Nouveau or the styles in which different artists, like van Gogh, Rembrandt, Miro or Kandinsky worked. I will never forget this booklet! But more importantly, I never forgot the lessons I learned about the art movements we practiced, simply because I MADE IT!
This class will be very useful if you want to feel more comfortable before starting a new painting.
You will need no experience at all. So, students can vary from experienced painters who want to add palette knives as another tool to their tool-belt or beginners just jumping into it.
We are going to cover the basics of palette knife painting techniques as
- How to hold the knives
- How much pressure you need to use and the effect this will have
- How to make real fine lines
- 2 ways of mixing colors
- I will give a lot of insides on finding solutions, how to visualize an object
- And we are going to bind a BOOKLET
