I worked on 4 paintings today, including the 3 small portraits in this photograph. Recently, I wrote about breaking my palette knife again. My favorite knife is (was) marketed as a painting knife, although I rarely used it for that purpose. But I painted with a knife today. I finished Garth in a Yankees Cap with a palette knife. The shirt front is done with the knife. I used to paint with the knife a lot and I had fun today, but it won’t be a regular thing.
By the way, I didn’t break the knife by painting with it. It broke it while I was mixing paint.
This photo is not wonderful, eh? It’s winter here now and by late afternoon the light is dim, especially on an overcast day like today. I have natural light bulbs (a lot of them) so I can paint at night and during the long winter hours, but the colors look off when photographed. So I used natural light for this photo, gloomy as it was.
