Three Sunflowers


"Three Sunflowers"
6 x 6 inches, Oil on Raymar Board, painted with palette knife
SOLD
I've been playing with the palette knife lately. This past Saturday at Tony Saladino's Art Critique session he asked everyone the benefit of painting with the palette knife. Someone mentioned that it was a whole lot easier to clean up because you didn't need to carry around turps. I AGREE!!
Of course he was going for a different answer - that painting with the palette allows you to paint loosely, which is a style I really like. I like the broad thick impressionistic strokes and the way the colors mix right on the painting. And the texture of the finished painting and the thick paints.
