Colorful Palms with Palette Knife

Workshops | Available

Learn the secrets of palette knife painting—from bold, expressive strokes to building rich, three-dimensional layers. We’ll start with a smooth, "feathered" underpainting to create depth, then dive into the fun part: using knives and specialized mediums to sculpt earthy trunks and sweeping, colorful palm branches. Enjoy expert demonstrations, personalized coaching, and plenty of room to experiment with your own style. You'll walk away with a stunning painting featuring a soft pastel sky and a high-energy subject.




  • Your masterpiece will be wet when the class ends—don’t forget a box for safe transport!


    We'll take a 45 minute lunch break mid-day, so please consider bringing a bagged lunch from home, otherwise options are available at cafes in the downtown area. 
Julie Tibus

A Bachelor of Fine Arts, Julie Tibus has been professionally selling and showing her work for over 15 years and currently teaches at her own studios in Ann Arbor and Brighton, Michigan. Julie has an insatiable curiosity that leads her to explore emerging mediums with a desire to discover new techniques. Her work draws from an intersection of nature and her own bold expression of it. "My art is centered on exploring natural form, embracing color, and working intuitively. I begin with a loose thought (floral, landscape, color, pattern, shape) then move through the composition with an internal desire to free myself from laboring and instead lose myself completely to the process. I believe we all are creative and through art we can learn how to overcome the fear of comparison, the unknown, and those hard expectations we impose on ourselves. My work is for the viewer to experience, contemplate and enjoy."
