This course is perfect for painters who want to learn how to add new dynamics, abstraction and sophistication to their work. This artistic method uses a good deal of paint (inexpensive is fine) and a variety of palette knife sizes to create colorful, exciting works. Students will sketch their outline in thin oils or acrylics, then apply paint with knives, providing less control than a brush, but invoking surprising effects. Each week, a different image will be painted start to finish. Demonstrations and one-on-one support will be provided. Brief and constructive critiques may be held at the end of each class.
