Glad to have found your blog. I am trying to figure out if you paint with a palette knife or a brush. I use a knife and it looks like you might too! Great work!
Thanks Leslie! Yes, I've enjoyed using palette knives for the last couple years, but I still enjoy the brushes once in a while... I'll use any tool in the box to say what needs to be said. I enjoy finding other artists who work with palette knives...they are all as different as anyones hand-writing or signature!
Congratulations!!! I don't comment nearly enough, but I should. You need to know that your palette knife work is wonderful! I'm amazed at how you are able to handle a rounded edge knife - I just can't do it!
So happy for you...
Thanks Sally! I do have 2 favorite knives I go back & forth between, depending on what I need, a pointy one, and a rounded end one. I've got a few others of various sizes, but if I lost my two faves, I'd be heartbroken! (I wonder if that's like 'lucky socks' for runners?).
