Generally, I tend to paint rather thinly, so for this painting I wanted to experiment with using a palette knife to apply rich, thick strokes of paint. I chose the brick and the old wooden shelf as a setting, feeling they would lend themselves to knife painting. I had fun with the knife, and I think the brick looks really solid. Maybe I'll try incorporating palette knife use a little bit more in the future. I like the color harmonies in this little piece, too.
This has a wonderful feel to it. I like the palette knife effect. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - it reminds me of a Chardin with texture. A very high complement.
