In this fun and quick-paced course, students explore techniques used to create expressive paintings with a palette knife.

Working with a palette knife as well as with paint additives to create a broad range of textures, students learn the nuances of value working wet in wet and layering in order to keep colors rich and vibrant.

Happy Fall - time to settle into the studio!
Happy Fall!
I have had a fantastic summer. Enjoyed a lot of traveling, painted in really cool places and got to hang out with great friends. Now, with just a few art shows left in the year, I am looking forward to settling into the studio and creating new work for 2014.
I have been thinking a lot about color lately and my new painting ( I hope ) will reflect this. It all started with a color confidence workshop I taught over the summer. I have been trying to really simplify color theory for my students and put it in easy to understand language. How do make it practical for how people really paint? I think this turned out to be one of the best classes I have taught about color, so I am now in the process of creating a second level, Color Confidence 11. I'm really excited about this class, but haven't gotten it boiled down to the nuts and bolts just yet.
I really look forward to the time in the studio over the winter. the pressure of sales is off and I can focus on creating and understanding color.
Happy fall ya'll!

Mamonth Cave, KY
Mamonth Cave is truly one of my favorite parks. Anytime I am making the haul from my studio in Atlanta and have to hit 64, I try to make a stop here. The park has a really wonderful bike path. About 20 miles with rolling hills. It's. Great way to break up the trip.
Ready to hit the trails!
Dawn
