Palette knife painting

 

Palette knife painting is a technique where artists use a palette knife, a flat and flexible tool, to apply and manipulate paint on a canvas or surface. Unlike using brushes, palette knives create textured and impasto effects by applying thick layers of paint. Artists can use the edge or the flat surface of the palette knife to create different marks and textures, resulting in a unique visual appeal. Palette knife painting is known for its bold and expressive style, often capturing the energy and movement of the subject. It is used for both abstract and representational artworks, allowing artists to experiment with texture, color mixing, and composition.
