Class Description:
Learn to loosen up and paint from the heart! We will be drawing more contemporary versions of people, in the loosest fashion possible. Simplicity is the name of the game in this workshop. Many techniques for texture, how to build layers for depth, working with limited colors, and lots of fun tricks done with rubbing alcohol and other tools, are just some of the new skills that you will learn. On day one, we will learn how to do wire drawings, which will help the students to loosen up! (Wire drawings are done with permanent markers and they resemble wire sculptures when completed.) This workshop is geared for all levels of acrylic students. We will also be trying other mixed media for detail work, like caran d’ache crayons and Prismacolor pencils. Karen Knutson is a very sought after instructor who believes that painting should be fun, but also likes to teach good design at the same time. Click for Supply List Click for Karen Knutson Bio |

Class Description:
This is a very popular workshop! Students sign up again and again, because Karen always has new tricks up her sleeves to make these little abstracts such a fun endeavor. This time students will learn tricks using masking fluid. These paintings are about 5” x 7” or 7 x 10”. We will complete either two or four, depending on how fast you are. Students will learn to loosen up and how to apply watercolor and then add collage to enhance the textures. Color lessons also benefit all of our paintings and for the crowning glory, we will add metallic accents to our paintings! These are fun paintings but also can be used as studies for larger paintings. Click for Supply List Click for Karen Knutson Bio |
