Painting with a Palette Knife: Acrylic Impasto Technique
In this class we will create a beautiful painting, using impasto technique, acrylic paints and palette knife. The main characteristics of these techniques are that the paint is applied thickly, so that the strokes and textures become visible. This creates an effect of sculptural volume, similar to bas-relief.
Reference images for inspiration.
ZOOM details will be emailed to registrants prior to the class.
