Beth Forst, nationally known artist and teacher, is going to “Raise the Bar” by enhancing your basic skills, honing several design techniques and inspiring your can-do spirit in this workshop. Beth’s travels inspire the outcome of her work from Impressionistic scenes of her travels, boats, and florals to more expressive, color driven pieces. Adept palette knife work and her “joie de vivre” color makes her work bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary styles. Beth Forst’s distinctive touch lends to her poetic view of life from her heart and head. Concentration of this workshop will be on the use of palette knives. website: BethForst.com
