Palette knives


Yesterday's Post Secret fave. I love the picture and the typewriter look to the text. That's the only connection. I love my boss.


I have been working with a palette knife on a few new paintings, and really enjoying myself. If you don't know what a palette knife is, it looks like this:




It's pretty impossible to be fussy when painting with a knife. It lends itself to chunky, impasto effects, which makes the painting a bit impressionistic and painterly. Having fun with it.
