Class Information
Acrylic artist pigments became popular in the 1960’s. Their quick drying time allows for spontaneous and energetic layering. This attribute of acrylic paint makes it an ideal medium for palette knife painting. Artists like Nicola Simbari and Leroy Neiman took great advantage of this new medium, creating dynamic, impressionistic art painting solely with palette knives. Class will include morning and afternoon instructor demonstrations with students replicating the instructor’s process.
