Palette knife painting is a thick application of paint that results in a heavily textured surface. In this workshop, Maria will teach you dynamic, bold palette knife techniques as you get a hands-on feel for the use of the knife instead of a brush. She will guide you in colour mixing, underpainting, texture, and composition. You will get a good understanding of the processes to effectively use layers of paint to enhance the landscape you’re depicting and how to choose colours which make the most of this technique. By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel inspired to incorporate palette-knife techniques into your regular painting practice, adding another layer of expression and creativity to your art. Whether you’re an experienced beginner looking to expand your skills or a seasoned painter seeking new challenges, this workshop will provide you with valuable tools and insights to enhance your oil painting repertoire.

About Maria Iva
Maria is a nature lover and a tireless hiker. She finds her inspiration in exploring wilderness areas of Southern Ontario. She often paints scenes that fascinate her on location with soft pastels on sanded paper and later recreates them on canvas in her studio in oil using a palette knife. Her pastel paintings are usually quick plein air sketches that capture the light and the feeling of the scene. Her oil paintings are much bigger pieces that are richly textured and colored. Using wet-on-wet technique she applies thick palette knife strokes that create depth and plenty of details. In both media Maria uses clean vibrant colors that allow her to demonstrate the effect of sunlight on the scene. Maria started painting after having a successful career in education and in a short time achieved a professional level that allowed her to exhibit and sell her work. Maria is an Elected Member of the Society of Canadian Artists and a Master Signature Member of the Pastel Artist Canada. She lives and works in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
