Adult Art Class | Textured Expression: Acrylic Painting with a Pallet Knife with Ida Mae Irby

Art Classes for adults are geared towards artists who are just starting out. to those who would like to learn new skills, and to those who would like a refresher.
Step away from the brushes and let texture take center stage! In this vibrant, hands-on workshop, you’ll discover the bold, sculptural world of palette knife painting. In this class, you’ll learn how to treat a palette knife as a natural extension of your hand—layering, scraping, and carving rich, thick acrylic paint onto canvas to create stunning, dynamic artwork.
This class is designed for pure, uninhibited creativity. Painting with a knife allows you to loosen up your style, focus on color and form, and break free from the pressure of precise details. Whether you're a complete beginner looking for a fun entryway into painting or an intermediate artist eager to add dramatic dimension to your work, this class will change the way you look at paint.
