Have you been using a palette knife just to mix paint, but not sure how to use it on the canvas? In this four week course, discover how to paint confidently in oils with a knife to achieve bold texture, crisp edges, and expressive detail. Through demonstrations and hands-on practice, you’ll explore techniques for painting architecture and landscapes with depth and energy. Learn to create vibrant color, dynamic texture, and a more painterly approach in this fun, fast-paced class.
Week 1: Introduction to palette knife painting, supplies and supports
Week 2: Composition and color mixing for cityscape painting with a palette knife
Week 3: Exploration of a variety of palette knife types and their uses
Week 4: How to get different textures using the palette knife and different mediums
Turpenoid
Liquin Original or Walnut alkyd (M. Graham)
Blick Painting Knife - Small Spade #40, and Medium Spade #46
Primed panels – hardboard, plywood (primed with a textured gesso- not sanded smooth. I use a mixture of 1 part clear gesso to 3 parts opaque Liquitex gesso which adds a little grit to the surface)
Cotton Rags or paper towels (highly recommend Viva brand)
Palette (I use glass, but any surface that is clean and smooth will work)
Assorted oil painting brushes
Containers for medium and turpenoid
References to work from (photos, sketches, objects)
Assorted oil paints, bring a variety of colors. The colors below are the ones I use, I prefer Gamblin paints, but you can use whichever colors/paints you have on hand.
Titanium White
Ivory Black
Burnt Umber
Burnt Sienna
Yellow Ochre
Hansa Yellow Medium (similar to cad yellow medium)
Napthol Red (similar to cad red medium)
Quinacridone red or rose
Ultramarine Blue
Pthalo Blue
Pthalo Green
