We used palette knives to paint these beautiful apple blossoms over the last week or so with our international students. We found that painting with a palette knife is harder than it looks. Nice work ladies.

When Alannah came to Art Camp this summer she fell in love with my Tulip Palette Knife painting. She wanted to buy it for her room but instead we talked her into taking a lesson to do one of her own. And she did an excellent job yesterday painting with a palette knife for the first time. Great work girl!

Two of my weekly art students completed paintings yesterday. Ethan comes to the Kids class from 4:15-5:15 and he did a palette knife painting from a live set up of flowers. That’s a challenge and he did a great job with it. Lauren attends Wednesday evening class at 5:30 pm. She did this lovely little sunflower to hang in her daughter’s room. Beautiful….nice work! If you would like to learn to paint or improved your painting skills join us for art class. Here’s more information here.

Palette Knife painting is not as easy as it looks. Try making art look like something just using a knife! It ain’t that easy as 15 people found out yesterday at The Studio. But the challenge didn’t deter them. They all came up with some amazing paintings at our Palette Knife Party. Great work everyone! Now that was fun!
The next fun class at The Studio is tomorrow night for our Famous Painter Party. Click here to see it and register.

Over the past few weeks my international students have been working on a palette knife painting. They really enjoyed doing this one.

Each year there is a big Trade Show & Workshop held in Raleigh NC called Art of the Carolinas. I’ve attended several times but haven’t been able to make it in a few years…until now. I came this year with two friends and we are enjoying the workshops. Yesterday I went to Kimberlee Maselli‘s Expressive Floral with Palette Knife class. She’s a great instructor helping each of us to learn to use a variety of knives to get shapes and designs to make a lovely floral painting.
We first worked on paper with a few different shapes and then she turned us loose on a canvas panel. She had fresh flowers available for inspiration. I chose the tulips. It was a fun and different way for me to work. Can’t wait till the next workshop. More from Raleigh tomorrow.
