*** I have a few extra plein air easels if you need one let me know right away and I'll hold one for you. I rent these for $ 10 for the workshop and use that to go towards new easels.
Please let me know if you need help purchasing an easel.
*All have the same code PY35. Make sure to open the tube on Cad yellow light, Lemon and some times Cad Yellow Medium and check to see it doesn't have an orange tint. Same name and pigment code Cad Yellow - but some are neutral and some have too much red. Cad Lemon should be the coolest. You can always add red, but you can’t take it out**
**Where do you find the pigment codes and what does it tell me?
Manufacturers are free to give their art supply colors whatever name they deem appropriate. Different manufacturers give different names to the same color, even if the same pigments are used. Therefore, names may vary from one brand to another. I tend to buy single pigments except for color that I mix all the time. If love a mixture that I don’t want to buy, often the codes on the back will tell me how to mix it myself. Also, I like working with a lot of transparent colors. You can always add a touch of white to make them opaque.

About time! I finally updated my art page!
It is amazing how long it can take sometimes to go from painting, completing a painting, photographing your paintings, uploading them to your computer....months later trying to remember what file they are in...... cropping images, and then finally getting them up on your website! Holy Cow! I have to come up with a more organized way. Well, it is a new year, so here's hoping! I have lot's of new paintings up in my Square Market. You can check them out by the link below. Let me know what you think.

Saturday, Feb 21, 9:00 - 12:00
Palette Knife Workshop
Room 4B
#AME1527
65.00 Registration
Ampersand will be supplying the panels for the class!
I love to be on the water and boats are one of my favorite things to paint. This 3 hours course will cover issues like different way to handle the knife,blocking in design, color mixing , and capturing reflected light. Students should expect to loosen up and create expressive paintings with a palette. Working with a palette knife allows 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. There will be an emphasis on color mixing and keep you colors clean (no muddy colors) This course will begin with a demo to cover the basic approach. Demonstrations will continue as well as working one on one with the students as you work on your paintings. All levels welcome. Appropriate for beginners. The class will be taught using oils. Please contact instructor at dawn@dawnart.com with any questions.
The class will be taught using oils. Can use Acrylics with a slow drying medium.

Vibrant Sky Supply list
Supply List Palette Knife Workshop
Bring what you have but this is what you need for class. I prefer working in oils because my mixture will stay wet for the class. Acrylic will dry quickly so you will need to keep them wet with water or a retarder.
Here is a list of suggested colors. But bring what you have. I like to have cool or neutral yellow, a warm blue, and a cool red and blue. Sap Green, Yellow Ochre, and Burnt Sienna are just great to mix with.
** See more about pigment codes below*
- Pick a cool red - Alizarin Crimson Pigment code PR83, or Permanent Rose Pigment code PV19 (primary).
- Pick a warm red - Such as a Naphthol Red pigment code PR170, a Cadmium Red or hue - (either the light of the medium), the Cad light, PR108, will be more orange and the Cad Med, also PR108, will be more scarlett. An orange such as Cad Orange will work as well
- Pick a cool or neutral Yellow - *Cadmium Yellow Light, PY 35 or PY3, or Cadmium Lemon PY 35 (primary), or Hansa Yellow PY 74
- Pick a cool blue - Phthalo Blue, Phthalo Blue Green Shade PB 15 (primary), Cerulean Blue Chromium PB36. Prussia Blue, Manganese Blue – Just fine
- Pick a warm blue - Ultramarine Blue PB29 , or Cobalt Blue PB 28
- Titanium white 5OZ Tube (Opaque wihte)
- Yellow Ochre PY 42, or Yellow Oxide, either will be fine will be fine. (Great for Mixing)
- Sap green or any warm green (mixture & gray for mixing)
Optional colors to add later
Naphthol Red/ Cadmium Red or hue / an orange (Warm Red)
Dioxide Purple (Combo of the red and blue primaries - great for mixing)
Burnt Sienna (Great for Mixing)
- 9 x 12, 12 x 12,12 x 16 or panel or larger (panels work better for palette knife, but canvas is fine for all other classes) Bring extra panels or canvas pad for practice
- Acrylic and oil disposable Palette Pad 9 x12 . You can use a roll wax paper
- Palette knives plastic or metal - The plastic 5 pack at Binders is great for beginners
***If just buying one get Utrecht 1003 or one similar to the image below
Paint thinner to help base coat your canvas. Turpenoid or liquid for oils - water for acrylics

- Sketch pad
- Pencil
- Roll of paper towels
If using oils you may want LIQUIN IMPASTO or Solvent to extend the paint
If using acrylics you will need a slow drying medium or retarder and spray bottle for water to help slow the dry time.
* All have the same code PY35. Make sure to open the tube on Cad yellow light, Lemon and some times Cad Yellow Medium and check to see it doesn't have an orange tint. Same name and pigment code Cad Yellow - but some are neutral and some have too much red. Cad Lemon should be the coolest. You can always add red, but you can’t take it out**
