Explore a different and fun way to paint!
-----
This workshop is for beginners and the more experienced painters alike, or anyone who’s ever been curious about what to do with and how to handle that little instrument.
Working with a palette knife, a clumsy instrument compared to a pencil, can help you to be more free and expressive in your paintings....even if you use a brush.
