Join David Mensing for ‘PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING,’ an exciting and insightful crash-course in fine painting and fun with a palette knife.  You can expect to enjoy group instruction and demonstration with ample painting time and personal attention under the spacious shade trees of Heritage Park.  At the conclusion of the workshop, you will have new tools and a new outlook to take your paintings to the next level. This palette knife painting workshop is suitable for all skill levels. Participants will learn the basics of using a palette knife to apply paint, then explore creating an emotional experience rather than recreating a scene by learning to interpret what you perceive in nature and capture it on the canvas.
