participate. Only a few materials are needed.
MATERIALS;
* Heavy paper or canvas
* Oil or acrylic paint
* Palette
* Painting knife or standard palette knife
* Rags
she teaches ages ten to adult out of her home studio. Although she enjoys all mediums, her favorites
are knife painting in oil, mixed media, and sculpture. Paula has won many awards for her art and
photography over the years. This past year, she has been working on books for middle grade about
time travel adventures to meet artists of the past. Paula has been a member of the New Hampshire
Art Educators since 2006.
Paula learned knife painting from Mauricio Puenté of El Salvador.His lessons took her from using a
palette knife to add texture, to using it for a complete painting. Luckily, Puenté was living in Pepperell
at the age of 92 when she met him. He was born in 1918 and his work was hung in more than 50
exhibitions, private collections and galleries across Latin America and the US. His art has graced the
walls of the King of Spain’s home. Puenté, captured his subject matter with his daring use of color
and the influence of the imaginary.
