Dynamic Painting With a Palette Knife
Join David Mensing for ‘DYNAMIC PAINTING WITH A PALETTE KNIFE,’ an exciting and insightful crash-course in fine painting and fun with a palette knife. While painting with a palette knife can be challenging, there is no better way to create deep, expressive compositions. A fine knife painting is rich and tactile and something like a two-dimensional sculpture.
Attention to certain key principles of painting can accelerate growth as an Artist. Even modest growth in these areas can have profound impact on overall quality of work. An Artist of any skill level that develops a deeper appreciation and understanding of intensities, composition, movement, texture and light temperature is poised to make significant improvement in their work.
Throughout this workshop, expect to enjoy group instruction and demonstration with assigned exercises and ample group and individual critique. At the conclusion of the course, you will have new tools and a new outlook to take your paintings to the next level.
