Palette Knife Acrylic Painting

Palette knife painting is a great technique to master if you don’t like getting lost in unnecessary detail as you can add swathes of colours and depth to your painting using this method.
Samantha, a self-taught artist with a degree in Education, will use acrylic paints to show us the  palette knife painting technique. This is great painting technique to master especially if you painting outdoors, or as the French call it ‘En Plein Air Painting’, as you don’t need to worry about washing your paint brushes!

The art lessons are suitable for all levels. Samantha’s art motto is that you can never make mistakes, just change your direction of thought and enjoy the process.

Spend a creative morning at a beautiful, tranquil riverside location that is surrounded by nature’s bounty and wonderful calming views. A perfect setting to unwind and improve your artistic creativity.

Lunch

The morning session will be followed by lunch when we will feast on a lovingly prepared wholesome vegetarian meal under the shade of the mature carob trees.
