Scrape Painting

Learn how to create an abstract contemporary art piece worthy of being displayed at home using this simple and impactful technique.

Gerhard Richter created paintings in many different styles, but some of his most iconic didn’t involve brushes at all—just a simple squeegee. In this program we’ll learn how to replicate this style with plastic putty knives.
