PAINTING KNIFE - Get Out of the Box I have found that instructing artist with painting knives or as they are sometimes called, palette knives to be hugely valuable. Helping students to Get out of their box. I would even insist that all painters spend a year with painting knives. Painting knives can teach us so much about painting, color, mixing of colors, our approach to painting and creating space with color and texture. The benefits can be appreciated by the STUDIO or PLEIN-AIR painter. This should not be overlooked by any serious painter. All Levels Welcome, Acrylic or OIl Paint. See details and locations below..

_______________ Testimonials: Very much enjoyed your portrait demo for the Greater Cincinnati Watercolor Society. You employed very effective educational tools throughout the program and explained yourself well. Your patience and kindness during the critique session was much appreciated. Good job! Painting is such a personal art form. Daryl has such a unique approach of imparting knowledge, technique and experience along with encouragement. Daryl's workshop was very informative and fun. I enjoyed watching his painting demonstration and learned new techniques with painting knives. Daryl has a nice, gentle way to make excellent constructive suggestions to improve your painting. I had never used the approaches he has taught and what a difference they make. This workshop challenged me in such a positive way. Daryl encouraged me to go beyond my comfort zone and paint Big and Artistic. This is a great experience to learn a new medium and style to express myself. This workshop is informative, challenging, and encouraging. I left the workshop encouraged and motivated to keep picking up that brush & painting knife, with the desire to continue to push myself and grow as an artist. That is priceless! Thanks Daryl! I was very inspired by this workshop and the techniques I have learned. I can't wait to start more portraits. |
