Workshops with Jeanne Young (Palette Knife and Snowscapes)
Palette Knife and Snowscapes:
February 11, 12
Saturday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, Sunday 11:00 am – 5:00 pm.
We will work on palette knife techniques, covering many painting basics while using palette knife to apply the paint. Bring any palette knives you have or bring your brushes and I’ll show you how to use them like palette knives.
This will be an excellent class for people wanting to paint thicker, to learn techniques that can loosen up their painting style. We will work on paint quality, mixing, edge work, seeing color, sculpting paint, and more. The things we will discuss in this class will help you think of painting as creating a piece of art rather than photographically reproducing a subject.
Day 1: I will demonstrate using the palette knife, the subject both days will be snow scenes.
Day 2: I will demonstrate using brushes in a fashion similar to the palette knife. Feel free to continue with the knife or use your brushes in a new way. I recommend bristle brushes in the shape called bright, sizes 4 to 8 depending on the size of your painting surface. I’ll have some different knives for people to experiment with also.
Feel free to bring paintings you’re working on, photographs of your own, or use the photographs I’ll provide. I will demonstrate at the beginning of the day and then spend the rest of our time helping students apply what we’ve discussed.
All skill levels encouraged to attend, I can’t wait to paint with you!
Landscapes:
February 25, 26
Saturday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, Sunday 11:00 am – 5:00 pm.
Tired of the cold? Ready to start planning for spring and thinking warm thoughts? Come paint landscapes. When looking at a photograph or when faced with the endless beauty of a scene outdoors, translating what we see can be a challenge. We will talk about composing this information overload into a painting. We will cover the usual topics of color mixing, edge control, values, composition, etc. with the landscape as the subject.
Feel free to bring paintings you’re working on, photographs of your own, or use the photographs I’ll provide. I will demonstrate at the beginning of the day and then spend the rest or our time helping students apply what we’ve discussed.
All skill levels encouraged to attend, I can’t wait to paint with you!

Janice grew up in Florida and now lives in Chugiak, Alaska where her heart is. She was inspired by family and friends to paint and “always have fun” with it. Her philosophy with art is
“Be who you are and say what you feel because the ones who mind don’t matter and the ones who matter don’t mind.” ~Dr. Seuss~
Janice loves the whimsical and her paintings are a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors from all walks of life presented through the large eyes of her EyeCandyPaintings. Her goal is to make you smile…at least once…when you view her collection.
