Upcoming Workshops 2021

Life is finally starting to get back to normal.  By now I would have usually taught several workshops, but this has not been a normal year for any of us!!  Anyway… I’m teaching a palette knife workshop in West Jefferson, NC in September at the Florence Thomas Art School.  It’s a wonderful town and school!  Hope you can join us!!!

Exploring the Palette Knife

Florence Art School 

September 7 and 8, 9:30-4:30,$215

http://florenceartschool.org

Join us for a two-day workshop exploring the use of the palette knife in your painting.  The knife can add a looseness and freedom to your paintings.  You can explore a whole painting with only your knife — or use the knife only for accents. Some of the advantages of the palette knife include:

  • Easy to clean
  • Great for texture and clean color
  • The edge creates great lines, trees, etc.
  • You can paint over wet layers without the paint mixing like a brush
  • Mixing colors of course!

Day one will include an introduction to the knife and the limited palette we’ll use. Together we’ll all paint a landscape from a photo, using the brush and the palette knife. Day two we’ll paint a still life — adding the challenge and opportunity of painting from life!

Hope you can join us! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

June 17-19, 9-4 pm, West Jefferson, NC, $300

White Water Linville, 10×10-SOLD

Come join us for three days of palette knife painting the beautiful scenery around West Jefferson with a palette knife.  Your paintings will be looser, bolder and simpler — full of texture.  We’ll talk about composition, values and color — and of course using the knife.  We’ll start with a demo, then lots of hands-on attention while you paint.  In case of rain, bring some of your favorite landscape photos.

If you’ve never done a workshop at Florence Thomas Art School you are in for a treat!  If you don’t sign up for my workshop, please peruse the other ones.  There is a wide variety!  The school is incredibly well-run.  West Jefferson is beautiful, friendly and very supportive of the arts. 

You’ll find a supply list and other information on the Florence Art School website.  http://www.florenceartschool.org
