Todays Palette Knife painting class, Noosa painting Classes

Acrylic Palette Knife painting

Using the palette knife is great way to free up your painting style especially those who have an instinctively orderly mind. The other advantage I particularly love is that cleaning up is so easy, no brushes to clean, how good is that.
This painting is 8x8", most of the class used a larger format and we need to add a few finshing touches. I will upload the completed paintings after next class next week, so please check back to see

Drawing and Painting Classes Noosa

Di and Lorey engrossed in  their painting class

Drawing as part of our day classes has  continued on from last term and has been very popular,
Last term we looked at contour and gesture drawing, this term we got down to the basic elements of drawing, 
Straight and curved lines and the relationships between them, horizontal, verticals , diagonals, curves, circles and spheres. This laid the groundwork for drawing an object realisticly  using the pencil to judge size and proportion

Set up for still life
In our last lesson tone was introduced using hatching  and  cross hatching to  add tone to a group of objects
