Coming Up: Painting the Landscape With Palette Knives with Sue A. Miller
Painting the Landscape with Palette Knives November 25, 2023
​
COURSE OUTLINE​
Students who already have painting experience will learn techniques for using palette knives and other non-traditional tools to add flare to their painting style.
Each student will be working on their individual paintings from their own sources.
​
Sue Miller creates realistically detailed oil paintings using strong design, expressive colour, and vibrant luminosity that immediately resonate with the viewer. She works in oil on canvas, capturing the effect of light on form and developing the unique colour, characteristics, and cultural aspects of the subject matter. Portraying every day objects and moments in extraordinary ways with a skillful use of colour, perspective, and vision is her trademark. Inspiration comes from the world around her and the ever-changing effects of light on a subject matter.
