Palette Knife Painting - Landscapes in Oil
Art + Wellness | Available
This 4 week class will give you a window into oil painting landscapes - from how to lay out the piece, what colors to use and how to create brushstrokes to align with the movement of the piece. Bring a few photos of landscapes you enjoy or places you have been that are not too complex and we will create a piece using only a palette knife to give it an organic/expressive feel. Basic supplies are included for use over the duration of the class. Students may wish to purchase additional paint if needed. Ages 14 and up.
Bryn Lenkaitis
Bryn Lenkaitis is a Pennsylvania native who fell in love with the people and places of North Carolina and decided to make it home about 4 years ago. She has a BA in Art History and Studio Art from IUP where she was given the opportunity to study in both Croatia and Spain – most memorable being her experience backpacking the El Camino de Santiago across Northern Spain.
When she’s not working as a Philanthropic Project Specialist aiding in the fundraising efforts for Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, Bryn creates art mainly in acrylics and oils but also experiments with ink and mixed media. Her artwork explores the use of bold color and texture to bring to life both the beautiful adventures and day-to-day places she inhabits. In doing so, she can put down roots in the rich soil of each new community she finds herself in and preserve the transient landscapes along the way that bring her immense joy.
