Palette Knife Oil Painting: Explore Color & Texture with Tammy Blais
Tuesday, July 21st from 9:30 am – 12:00 pm (1 class) Ages 16 – Adult
All artistic levels are welcome, and no prior experience is necessary
Join artist Tammy Blais for an engaging, hands-on workshop where you will create your own 6″ x 8″ oil painting using only a palette knife.
This class is designed to help you break away from traditional brushwork adn embrace the bold, expressive nature of “impasto” painting. Whether you are a seasoned artist or have never touched a canvas, you will find this process both liberating and rewarding.
What to Expect
Technique over Tools:
Learn how to apply thick, rich layers of oil paint to create striking textures and clean, vibrant colors that only a palette knife can achieve.
Demonstration & Guidance:
Tammy will begin with a short demonstration of her specific “palette style,” showing you how to mix colors directly on the board and apply them with confidence.
Personalized Support:
Throughout the session, Tammy will provide guidance to help you navigate your composition and complete your piece.
Creative Freedom:
This is a fun and explorative environment. Without the precision of a brush, you are free to discover your own unique artistic “voice” and style.
Preparation
Please bring along a few printed photos or sketches to serve as your creative inspiration – landscapes, still lifes, or abstract patterns all work beautifully with this technique.
All artistic levels are welcome, and no prior experience is necessary.
