With A Palette Knife

I've been painting a lot recently. And of all the brushes and tools and instruments that are used the palette knife happens to catch my interest the most at the moment. It's a metal thingy thing. It provides nice angles where you can just layer paint on and scrape and you can pretty much take paint off or just throw globs on with it. Van Gogh used palette knives a lot in order to layer his colors as well as to scrape some layers off. It's a fantastic tool, it really is. It adds a whole new vocabulary to the way you go about on working on a painting. It seems silly because when you think of painting you think of brushes not little metal bits, but it's honestly legit and is really quite rad.
