Palette knives have some great uses, here are a few…
Mixing Colours: Palette knives are excellent for mixing colours on your palette. Use the knife to blend different paint colours together until you achieve your desired hue.
Applying Paint: Instead of using brushes, try applying paint directly onto your canvas or surface using a palette knife. This technique can create unique textures and effects.
Impasto: Palette knives are commonly used in impasto painting, where thick layers of paint are applied to create texture. Use the knife to apply thick, bold strokes of paint onto your canvas.
Scraping: Use the edge of the palette knife to scrape away paint or create textured marks on your canvas. This technique can add depth and interest to your paintings.
Sgraffito: Sgraffito involves scratching into a layer of wet paint to reveal the layer underneath. Use the tip of the palette knife to scratch designs or patterns into your painting.
Blending: While brushes are often used for blending colours, palette knives can also be effective for blending. Use the flat side of the knife to gently blend colours together on your canvas.
Creating Texture: Experiment with using palette knives to create different textures in your paintings. You can use the knife to create lines, dots, or other patterns in the paint.
Scumbling: Scumbling involves applying a thin layer of paint over a dry layer of paint to create a soft, hazy effect. Use the palette knife to lightly drag paint across the surface of your painting.
Removing Paint: If you make a mistake or want to remove paint from your canvas, use the edge of the palette knife to scrape away the unwanted paint.
Palette Cleanup: Lastly, palette knives are great tools for cleaning up your palette after painting. Use the knife to scrape excess paint off your palette and keep your workspace tidy.
