David Simons: The Palette Knife Approach – October 20 – 21, 2023
$405.00
Unlike painting with a brush the palette knife can be very challenging if you try to copy, therefore the suggestive strokes from a palette knife are a much looser approach and often present a lot of abstraction which can enhance the painting itself. Let me help you try to master and enjoy this approach in this two day class workshop. Hours: 9am – 4pm.

“Oil painting for me is a meditative experience — essential to my well-being, and a necessary part of my life. Painting brings me great joy, and, I hope, uplifts the hearts of those who view my work.
I like to explore the subtle ways that light affects the subject. I also enjoy color, but the value relationships in a scene are what interest me most. I also like to emphasize the abstract nature of what surrounds us.”
