 Description:
In Nancy’s workshop, we will learn that the palette knife and other tools are not just a tool for mixing paint on your palette, but can also be used to create some pretty stunning effects in your paintings that are not possible with a brush.  Her focus will be painting a beach scene with ocean waves using palette knives.

Here are some examples of Nancy’s paintings that show stunning effects painting winter landscapes with a palette knife and advantages:

 ·        It is so easy to clean a palette knife. We literally just need one wipe with a cloth or paper towel and all the paint is gone. This is a huge advantage over brushes, which require much more care. And very time effective.

·        The amount of our paint we choose to use and the thickness is up to the Artist.

·        It is great for building up a thick texture and creating a broken color effect.  It is great for building up a thick texture and creating a broken color effect. 

·        You can use the edge of the palette knife to create sharp lines. Or other tools she will bring for us to try.

·        The bold strokes created by the palette knife can sometimes complement the more delicate strokes – making a statement about what we are saying in our painting.

·        The palette knife is wonderful for painting wet on wet.
