Palette Knife Painting: My go-to method is palette knife painting, celebrated for its expressive and freeing qualities. This technique lets participants explore bold textures and vibrant colors in a relaxed, pressure-free way./ Imagine gliding a palette knife through rich, buttery oils, layering vibrant colors that dance with texture and light.
My workshops embrace the joy of painting with palette knives—a technique that feels both liberating and satisfying. With no need for precision, it’s all about the experience: bold, expressive strokes that bring your imagination to life. (Curious about exploring brushes, color harmony, or a specific creative focus?

KIND WORDS FROM PAST POP-UPS
- WELL CURATED MAGAZINE’S ATLANTA TREVONE BAY RETREAT
“What an incredible class. I had never used oil paints before! This was a unique opportunity to ‘play’ with a new medium in a safe, friendly & inspiring environment. I’m a little afraid of colour, but I left feeling enthused & excited. Due to the small class size Rachel was able to come to us individually giving us suggestions & feedback. This made a huge difference to my confidence & I think gave us all interesting points to think about & develop in our work.”
