Paint realistic portraits using a palette knife

Using a palette knife in painting is a tricky but satisfying feat. In this workshop, artist Jana Vodesil-Baruffi will teach participants to simplify and divide the planes of a face so they can use bold strokes to capture the likeness and character of their subject. 

Tickets are strictly limited and include champagne and nibbles. Attendees are required to bring 2 x metal pallet knives (sizes 1020 and 1030) that can be purchased from any art supply stores (including Oxlades and Jacksons).
