It is interesting to me that at the end of a painting like this, my palette itself is far more organized by color and variation of color than it is when using a brush. Its so easy to smush paint with a brush whereas with the knife, I have to really focus on the value and temperature of the paint.
Purchase this unframed painting.
Contact me if you would like to purchase a plein air frame.
Another beautiful painting, Kathryn. What I find interesting are the small details, like the small strokes of color in the bowl of the spoon and on the rim of the plate. How'd you do that with a palette knife?
ReplyDeleteThank you Virginia! I use Connoisseur palette knives and it was either a #24 or a #32, both of which have a narrow tip. I'm not an expert with the palette knife--still experimenting, but I sometimes use the tip, the edge or the flat part of the knife to make different types of strokes.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about your observation on the palette organization. I love your knife paintings, You are inspiring me to try it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful subtleties of color here! This piece has such a warm glow!
