Textured 3D Painting – Palette Knife Painting
Textured 3D Painting – Palette Knife Painting
A painting you can touch. A palette knife instead of a brush, relief instead of a flat surface.
What Is Textured Painting
A textured painting is made by applying a thick paste with a palette knife – the paint isn’t spread flat but stands up and creates relief. The result looks different from every angle and changes depending on how the light falls on it. That’s exactly why textured paintings are called 3D paintings: you can see and feel the structure. At the ArtTexture workshop you’ll try this technique in three hours, from 1 990 Kč, in Prague – materials, canvas and instructor are included and you take the finished painting home.

You don’t need any experience – a palette knife forgives far more mistakes than a brush, and the texture hides any imperfections.
- 1. Design and composition – You choose a motif and plan with the instructor where the relief will stand out most. With texture, less is sometimes more.
- 2. Base layer – The canvas first gets a base layer of colour so that no white canvas shows through the paste.
- 3. Applying the paste – You apply structural paste with a palette knife – dragging, pressing or tapping creates a different surface every time.
- 4. Colour accents – Pigment can be mixed into the wet paste; once dry, you highlight the edges with a dry brush.
- 5. Details and drying – Gold or pearlescent accents come last. The paste dries longer than acrylic – so you take the painting home with instructions on how to handle it for the first few days.
