Learn how to turn a quick sketch or painted study into a fully-textured oil painting using basic painting tools and a high-chroma color palette. After planning out a still life with an underpainting, use thick layers of brushwork and palette knife strokes to make an expressive surface. Other techniques will include sanding multiple paint layers and building up dried paint for a sculptural effect. Make your masterpiece unique with the impasto techniques you learn in this workshop!
