Oops, I sort of forgot about this blog for the last month or so. I guess that means I have been just a little bit busy with other things. But that doesn't mean I don't want to talk about this fun art technique.
This is a very small and short lesson on how to paint with palette knives. We look at simple landscapes that have at least one thing in them (a boat, a barn, a car, a tree, etc.) and then they have to paint with acrylic paints and only palette knives. We do these on a 4x6 piece of foam board so that it won't warp as bad when they are applying the paint. I then try to challenge them to use as little of black paint as possible. As you can see from the first example that doesn't always work, but I do try to encourage them to think outside of their normal color box.
This project usually takes us about 2 to 2 and 1/2 days to complete. Enjoy!!
