Soooo much fun, this class, for both beginners and advanced! Luz patiently explains the techniques you can use with the palette knife and you immediately participate in the exercises. After this you will be sketching some compositions. You will spend the second half of the class working on your canvas. Luz provides individual advice and tips. Regardless of whether you are young or old, experienced or a total beginner, everyone will have a beautiful painting to take home at the end of the course. I personally had a very pleasant and educational afternoon, with a very nice result.
Discover all the techniques in a playful way!
The class consists of two parts. In the first part you prepare yourself for ‘real’ painting in a playful way. During the Palette Knife Game you will learn the most important techniques you can use with the palette knife and when you can use them.

Painting the landscape step by step
In the second part you follow my painting process, from the first layer of paint to the final details. How do you start? What do you do if you have made a mistake? What textures do you start with? What do you do if the colours don’t mix nicely? When is your canvas finished? I will teach you which three elements to focus on and I will reveal all the secrets of how to set up a landscape step by step!
