palette knife workshops

The Palette Knife is great for liberation of movement and mixing paint.  It gives us texture and layering that is otherwise very difficult in brush work.

Fabric and Portrait Study - Drawing

 We will look at a variety of drapery scenarios - how various fabrics hang, stretch, or hide and reveal the body/object. 
Chiaroscuro, washes, blending and contour  will be explored.  Models will be available in the last classes - to use the skills we have been working on, to show fabric on the human form
