Palette Knife | Painting | Years 5 - 12
The palette knife is central to my daily studio practice. I'm a big fan of the bold assertive strokes it delivers and how it forces you to remain loose and gestural.
Unlike traditional brushwork, palette knife painting doesn’t require years of practice to produce striking results. It encourages spontaneity and is an excellent way for students to dive into painting.
I have delivered many very successful palette knife classes to all ages: it's a versatile tool that can be used as a great introduction to painting to Year 5, to an exploration of texture and colour-mixing for Year 8, to advanced layering in landscapes for Year 10 or 1:1 figure tutorials for seniors.
