Not just for Acrylic & Oil Painters, a palette knife can be an exciting tool for painting watercolors. Learn how! Using a palette knife with watercolor adds texture, bold marks, and creative effects you can’t get with brushes. It’s great for lifting paint, mixing cleaner colors, creating sharp lines, and adding expressive details. Just use a light touch to avoid damaging the paper.
Joe will demo then you can experiment on good paper to discover the exciting ways a palette knife can be used with watercolor to make your paintings more alive and exciting.

About Joe Cibere
 |
 |
Joe Cibere is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society, and his painting style demonstrates his love of nature and wilderness. His "abstract realism" paintings integrate strong design and balance with a sense of illusion, and have appeared in "Watercolor Artist Magazine," "Artists Magazine," "Best of Acrylic," "Splash 23," and in the International Artists book "The Watercolor Sky and Cloud Techniques of 23 International Artists." His work is also part of both corporate and private collections. His studio is at Studio Channel Islands, Room R5 in Old Town Camarillo, California.
He's been working on more impressionistic landscapes lately, using non-traditional water media methods for creating what he calls "imaginaries," landscapes that don't really exist and are more conceptual in nature.
To know when he's done with a painting, he has three guides. Does it look good in black and white/greyscale? Does it look good flipped, reversed, and rotated? And is there enough left for the viewer to finish the painting? All goes back to knowing how to start and when to finish your vision.
