“How to Use the Palette Knife to Enrich your Paintings”
The brush has become synonymous with painting; it’s the tool that’s perhaps most often depicted in artists’ self-portraits through the centuries. Yet the palette knife deserves some recognition as an equally versatile implement. Susan will show you how it can be used as an addition to or even a replacement for brushes in the creation of strong, compelling paintings. In this demonstration, Susan will discuss the various blades and techniques and will demonstrate how she uses the knife to create extraordinary paintings.
This demonstration is free and open to the public.
