I've been trying a few with just the brush as I seem to have lost some of my brush technique. I often revert back to the palette knife - so maybe a half and half approach is where I shall go. I also find I am smoothing down a lot of the palette knife work, especially in the early phases of a painting.<br /><br />As to your question - t would be a shame to not do palette knife work as the ones I have seen so far have a good feel to them, as do your brush ones of course. You do seem to have more control with the brush, probably because of practice.Artbymarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192203424805140651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561000384251372769.post-27663750601226395612014-06-06T22:46:58.783+02:002014-06-06T22:46:58.783+02:00As you know I love your work.

In answer to your question, I am wondering if you have too much color in the foreground when that is of course not your center of interest. There is so much to look at, partly due to the color but the thick palette knife texture has to be considered as well. I personally am thinking about whether my own palette knife paintings or my brush paintings are my favorite. Or should I do both?CAROL HOPPER -- A PAINTER'S JOURNALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201355529127200387noreply@blogger.com
