We bring you a unique tactile workshop perfect for beginners as well as seasoned creators where you'll learn how to paint using a palette knife, and we promise you'll never want to use a brush again!
"Impasto is a technique of using thick layers of paint which when applied to a surface gives a unique sense of texture and raw depth to the painting. In this technique strokes and the movement of application are clearly visible and add to the overall quality of the work."
In this 6- week long class, we will cover topics like texture, material handling, canvas preparation, choosing the right tools, composition, colour and more in depth giving you the confidence to work/experiment on your own post the classes.
