Painting Alla Prima with Oils on Yupo
Brooke Walter-Knoblich
Thursday, May 10, 11am

Join Brooke Walker-Knoblich as she demonstrates how to use oils on a contemporary synthetic paper called Yupo.

 The slick surface of Yupo allows oil colors to glide like butter over silk and then releases the paint for a fresh, effortless look when desired. Brooke is excited to share her techniques and artistic philosophies to inspire you to experiment in your own creative practices. 

Brooke 's passion for realism comes from her studies in Europe where attended a four-week intensive workshop at the Florence Academy of Art. She earned a BA in Studio Art from UCSD in 2005 and has studied with numerous contemporary impressionist artists.
