MOUNTAIN PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING WORKSHOPS CALGARY | Intermediate Acrylic and Oil Painting Class

Mountain Palette Knife Painting Workshops | Grasby Art Studio Calgary

Learn the dynamic technique of palette knife painting while capturing the breathtaking beauty of the Rocky Mountains.

What You'll Experience

• Medium flexibility: work in acrylic or oil, whichever you prefer
• Stunning subject matter: paint the Rocky Mountains with bold, textural strokes
• Feature-worthy results: finish with a painting built to hang as a statement piece
• A looser hand: palette knife work is the fastest way to open up your mark-making

Perfect For

• Artists who have completed our Beginners series and want to take a technique further
• Painters with equivalent experience wanting to explore palette knife work
• Intermediate artists aiming to create a statement piece
• Anyone looking to loosen up their painting approach and mark-making

Working with Teresa

These intermediate workshops are led by studio founder Teresa Grasby, an accomplished artist with 15 years of teaching experience. Teresa takes on the subjects artists find most challenging and shares the efficient process she has developed for them, worked in a loose, expressive style. Most artists use the four sessions to build one large-format canvas — a finished feature wall painting to take home.

• Level: Intermediate — for artists who have completed our Beginners series, or who have equivalent experience
• Duration: 3 hours per workshop

• Location: Grasby Art Studio, 6520 Bowness Road NW, Calgary
