From realism to abstraction

"Join me in my 16th year teaching palette knife and particular brush techniques using Cobra water mixable oils. (Or your own choice) My class is always called From Realism to Abstraction with focus on how the landscape is always the main focus and can be abstracted.
I will show you how to direct the viewer’s eye with value color studies and strong composition. You will learn various techniques on how to hold the knife and make a great variety of marks. Information on paint manipulation and brushwork will also be included. Each morning there will be demos and in the afternoon I will spend time with each student helping them through the process." - Karen Weihs
