Impasto Palette Knife Painting Workshop (Oct)
In this workshop we will learn the basics of painting with a palette knife vs a paintbrush. Palette knife painting is a bold and dynamic approach to painting. Techniques for painting lines, blending, textures, drawing, and using the various shaped palette knives are the focus of this workshop. Techniques are demonstrated by the instructor then students try their hand.
Students will also be introduced to the impasto painting technique. Impasto is a thick application of paint that does not attempt to look smooth. Instead, impasto is unabashedly proud textured and exists to show off knife marks. Think of Vincent van Gogh paintings to get a visual. Impasto style allows us to create unique senses of texture and depth in our artwork. By using thick layers of paint to create a three-dimensional images on the canvas. We can create a tactile experience for the viewer that almost feels real. People want to touch the dry paintings to involve the senses making artworks more dynamic and exciting.
A simple palette knife/impasto oil on canvas painting will be created to put into practice what we learn in this workshop. We will use oil paints.
All materials will be provided for use.
Water, Coffee, Soda, and Snacks available by donation. Or bring your own.
