Using Palette/Painting Knives                 …with Jackie Marth
​
Picture
Here is your chance to try painting knives and create a lovely hibiscus, the symbol of tropical living in Southwest Florida!

Palette knife painting often uses oils but Jackie has developed this design just for you with acrylics. This will help you avoid purchasing oil paints and dealing with the odors and slow dry time that is associated with oil paints. 

Come enjoy this all-day seminar at the Art League.
