Instructor:  Susan Holben Date: December 9th (Saturday) Time: 10am-4pm  Cost: $160 (includes some supplies*) Discover the joy of applying oil paint to canvas using palette knives.   Much like spreading butter, the palette knife technique lends itself nicely to the shapes found in nature – cliff faces, mountains, skies, clouds, rivers, and sands.    In this one-day workshop, students will create their own 12” x 12” painting, inspired by a spectacular western sunset.    Artists of all levels will experience the joy of laying down numerous textures using a palette of stunning local colors.  The class will cover canvas preparation, photograph gridding, rough sketching and paint application to loosely recreate a beautiful scene.   Finished paintings are contemporary, impressionistic and somewhat abstract, the result of painting loosely and having fun! *Please note that this class is limited to eight students *Cost includes a ready-to-hang 12” x 12” gallery wrapped canvas, use of studio palette knives and other miscellaneous supplies  Student Supplies Required: Professional Grade Oil Paint (Gamblin, Windsor Newton, etc.) Ultramarine Blue Alizarin Crimson Olive Green Gold Ochre or Cadmium Yellow Medium Cadmium Orange Titanium White
