The Oil Academy

My advanced students and I have started learning how to paint with oils and a palette knife. It is soo cool and fun. I am taking classes through http://www.paletteknife.net/ and then teaching my studnets. It is going to be a great time of learning and creating!

Today we started on our first canvases learning how to hold the knife and spread the paint across the canvas.

 
 
 
 Yes, I am very aware that I have lots more room than most art teachers!

And her is my little canvas.
Tomorrow we are going to learn how to create different strokes. I got ahead of myself and kept playing after I had the first layer of paint on the canvas. Hopefully my teacher doesn't get mad and make me redo it! :)
