In Nancy’s workshop, we will learn that the palette knife and other tools are not just a tool for mixing paint on your palette, but can also be used to create some pretty stunning effects in your paintings that are not possible with a brush. Here is example of one of Nancy’s paintings that show stunning effects painting winter landscapes with a palette knife and advantages:
• It is so easy to clean a palette knife. We literally just need one wipe with a cloth or paper towel and all the paint is gone. This is a huge advantage over brushes, which require much more care. And very time effective.
• The amount of our paint we choose to use and the thickness is up to the Artist.
• It is great for building up a thick texture and creating a broken color effect. It is great for building up a thick texture and creating a broken color effect.
• You can use the edge of the palette knife to create sharp lines. Or other tools she will bring for us to try.
• The bold strokes created by the palette knife can sometimes complement the more delicate strokes – making a statement about what we are saying in our painting.
• The palette knife is wonderful for painting wet on wet.
