Paint the landscape with the palette knife.  No brushes to clean – no toxic chemicals.  Oils are recommended for this class for the best experience, but acrylics may be used instead if you must. Painting with the palette knife is freeing, it helps you to focus on large shapes and design elements without getting bogged down with too much detail.  It is very freeing and easy to learn and is a lot of fun! We will cover palette knife technique, color, design, and all elements of good landscape painting.
