September 2013 Three Day Palette Knife Painting Workshop

Sandbridge, Virginia Beach, Va

Sep 17 - 19, 2013, 2013 ($325.00 for the workshop and $300 for four nights lodging)

Located in Virginia Beach, Va

9:00 am - 4:00 pm class hours and fun the rest of the time!

This is my first “destination workshop”. I know there are lots of workshops in Europe and Hawaii but I really wanted to keep the cost down! So I have reserved my sister’s beach house in Sandbridge, Va and the entire class is going to stay in the three story, six-bedroom, ocean view house. We’ll paint during the day (in class and plein air) and then cook an incredible meal and talk about our lives, art and who knows what else!  In three days students will rediscover their passion for art, learn the basics pertaining to values and colors and master the techniques of painting with a palette knife! Plus we’ll have lots of chances to get to know each other, share ideas and get all of those questions about art answered!

Our first day starts off with a unique painting demo in which I demonstrate the basic approach to painting with a palette knife.  This demo helps students understand the basic approach and guides them to success using a simple step by step approach.  We will focus on color mixing and understanding values. And ... you will love your completed painting ...

On the second day we will all paint together and head out to paint plein air.  Today we will focus on using the palette knife to create visual interest and highlighting the focal point in your paintings.

The third day will be spent painting your own palette knife painting (using inspirations photos or the beautiful Sandbridge scenery) with one on one instruction at your easel. 

Cost is $325.00 plus $300 for accommodations (four nights). We will all chip in to cover meal costs but we will “eat in” and Leslie will cook!

Class is limited to 10 students.
