Knife Painting
Painting with a palette knife is a great way to loosen up your practice. In this workshop we will use three different approaches to your choice of subject. All require simplification and spontaneity. Palette knives, like brushes come different sizes and shapes. They can be handled intuitively and with a little practice and good examples can open up new possibilities on their own or in combination with brush work. Please see materials list.

Feb, 8th, 10-2:30 Diebenkorn, The Ocean Park Series COURSE DESCRIPTION Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) was an abstract painter. Taking inspiration from his Ocean Park series and his “10 rules for painting”, we will embark on our own color-field journey. Minimalism requires simplification to the essence of things. Painting this way helps us see new possibilities in art and life.
