Have you always WANTED TO MAKE A PORTRAIT?

Which seems so easy but when you started it turns out to be really hard?

Well, it is EASY... when you use the right tools!

This class will take away a big frustration and I will show you STEP-BY-STEP how you finally can get started on that bold and stunning portrait!

What always seems so hard turns out to be really Cool & Fun with PALETTE KNIVES!!

Together we are going to make a portrait and I will teach you the TECHNIQUE how to work with Palette Knives.

This class will cover all the stages. I will break it down into several lessons,

in which we:

Choose the MODEL and MATERIALS.
SKETCH and PREPARE your canvas.
We will look into the Color Palette INSPIRATION and add the first layers
We are going to PRACTISE some strokes
I will DEMONSTRATE how to paint the EYES, NOSE and MOUTH with the knives
And finally, I will show you how to blend HAIR and BACKGROUND with the WET-IN-WET technique

This will lead into a PORTRAIT, completely made with PALETTE KNIVES!

I’ve been working as an artist with the palette knives for over more than 10 years now. And I'm really excited to teach you everything I know. So you can skip the messy part and jump directly into a nice clean effect :-)

The most important thing at the end of this class is that you have learned a very valuable TECHNIQUE in which you will feel comfortable using and I will encourage you to Enjoy and mix the knives freely into your own work and style.

This class is perfect for everybody who wants their portrait to stand out with amazing paint effects and you will find a new way of expressing yourself creatively. Both beginners as more advanced students can join, although a bit of sketching experience will come in useful. I will provide a link of some great Skillshare teachers if you need a little extra help on your sketching.

At the end of this class, you will surely be SURPRISED BY YOUR SKILLS and your portrait, completely made which Palette Knives, is ready to exhibit in our “Class Project’ gallery.

To jump right into the Class will need a set of palette knives, a canvas, a mixing palette, acrylic paint, paper towels a small sponge and a container for some water. But I will go more into the materials in class. Just start with the first lesson and follow me from there.

Let’s Enjoy Together because in Joy most Wonderful things Will Happen.

HOPE TO SEE YOU IN CLASS !!
