AFTER
This palette knife painting represents a rose from memory. In the BEFORE version I was satisfied with the composition, but not the colors I don’t know why I use the dull brown. Anyway, I looked at it today by chance, and thought I want to fix this. The texture has a bit different effect covering over the top of existing texture but I’m glad I went for it! I may try this again from scratch sometime.
BEFORE
6″x 6″ gallery edge stretched canvas
I played with a new tool today! It falls between a palette knife and a brush. They are most similar to painting with a spatchella. They are called Mini Blades. They have a little bit of a lighter touch than a palette knife.
I’m satisfied with the outcome, but look forward to practicing with them more and doing a bigger painting. A nice heavy bodied paint is best.
They’re used like a palette knife, but have more give. Apply or move paint from the top, side, and back of the blade. The edge is not actually like a blade it’s very blunt and flexible.
The full name of the product is Princeton Catalyst Mini Blades. Dick Blick sells them.
If you are interested in palette knife painting, I highly reccomend them.
I want adapt myself to the use of the palette knife. It’s great fun! There have been other points in my life when I’ve tried it, and I wasn’t satisfied with my work, but these last few times I’ve decided I can make it work! 6×6″ Acrylic on stretched canvas.
Playing with acrylic on a palette knife, and painting what landscape I see in my head. I’m getting adjusted to the feel of it! It’s great fun! I’m going to experiment with oils and palette knife soon and compare the results. 8×10″ canvas, landscape painted around the edges.
