Palette Knife Painting at the Peoria Art Guild
Palette Knife Painting at the Peoria Art Guild

Palette Knife Painting at the Peoria Art Guild

Instructor: Laurie Moore

Department: 2D

Come explore painting with a palette knife! We will start with simple landscapes and you will learn how to block in shapes and mix paint for that beautiful sky with maybe a few clouds. From distant mountains to foreground color will be the key. You can be as abstract (loose) as you feel comfortable or detailed (tight) if that is your style. No previous experience necessary and as easy as spreading butter.

Ages 16 and up

Friday afternoon 4:00- 7:00 pm

Cost $35

All Materials provided by the Peoria Art Guild

Are you a member of the Peoria Art Guild? If so you can get a $5 discount (only for current members!)
