Palette Knife Create is our classic take-home art workshop.

This two-hour session is where you will paint a finished piece – guided step-by-step using a palette knife.

In this April workshop, we’ll be creating a vibrant citrus still life, exploring juicy colour, bold texture and expressive knife marks to bring lemons, limes, oranges or grapefruits and sliced citrus to life.

You’ll learn how to:
• Mix fresh, luminous yellows, greens or oranges – such gorgeous citrus tones!
• Build texture using impasto paints and palette knife techniques
• Create clean edges and simple forms with the knife
• Add depth and contrast to make your subject pop!

Whether you’re completely new or have painted before this session is designed to fee achievable and creatively energising.

You’ll leave with:
• A completed citrus still life artwork to take home
• A stronger understanding of palette knife techniques
• The creative confidence to keep painting

No experience necessary – if you can butter toast, I can show you how to paint with a palette knife!
