Do you remember as a kid coloring outside the lines? For some, it was stressful, others it was freeing or even being a bit rebellious. The cool thing about palette knife painting is that the messier it is, the better it looks! You can turn up the music, throw your hair back and have fun! Loosen up and learn to paint with less control. I promise that in the end, you’ll see how this all works and your paintings will turn out amazing! They maybe different then what you expected, but that’s the beauty of it!
In this acrylic and mixed media class you will learn how to make different colored skin tones and paint this beautiful woman in the rain. I will teach you about using palette knives and gel mediums to create the thick textures that make these pieces unique and full of energy. I know it looks hard, but I promise that anything broken down to baby steps can be accomplished. You don’t need any previous experience, just a willingness to try and have fun. Grab your paints, palette knives, and maybe a glass of wine, turn up the music and let’s paint!
I believe in you…you’ve got this! It’s ok to paint outside the lines!
