Event details

If you are hesitant or are interested in painting in acrylics, and want to explore more mediums, this is the workshop for you! Students will create paintings that are influenced by the great Gustav Klimt. (Students can use small inexpensive liquid acrylics, available and Michaels Craft Store, so it won’t be a big investment if they are new to acrylics.) Karen will demonstrate the painting of people, but students can pick their own subject. You will learn to actually scrape on color using a credit card! Amazing colors and forms are created with this method. Adding gold will add to the fun! As a bonus, Karen will teach the art of wire drawing. Drawing with a permanent marker that looks like a wire sculpture will not only loosen you up but it will improve your drawing skill as the same time! Win-Win! This is Karen’s favorite new technique. It has to be seen to be understood. Come ready to explore new techniques and take your paintings to the next level! Karen Knutson is a popular workshop instructor who believes that painting should be fun as well as productive.
