Some samples of Palette Knife Work

Just wanted to show you some of my palette knife works.  I have used a palette knife to do landscapes, mainly plein air panting.  Once you relax with a palette knife, you can really get creative, and turn out some interesting works.


Title of this one is "A Light Bloom" a 9x12 oil, painted with just a pallet knife.



"Candle  of Life" 9x12 oil, just done with a palette knife.

"Louisville Clown" all was done with a palette knife.

"Reflections"  was a palette knife done from a live model on a prepared background, that was done with a brush.

 

This is a old painting of mine, done with nothing but a palette knife; I put it in because you can see how much fun you can have with a more complicated composition using a palette knife.
