Levin 4 Pcs Palette Knife Set for Acrylic Wooden Handle Painting Pallet Knife Set Art Tools for Oil Paint Canvas

Angle the knife on the canvas to create different textures. Use the flat base of the knife to drag color flat across the canvas. Try pushing paint at a 45-degree angle for more texture. Flick the knife upwards at the end of the gesture to create a 3-dimensional peak. Or you can twist the knife in an undulating wave gesture to create irregular texturesPoint the knife in different directions to create visual movement. The most comfortable position may be holding the knife at a 45-degree angle in relation to your body. But try holding it perpendicular to your body to create vertical lines. Rotate your wrist as you apply paint to the canvas to create swirls. Try layering a series of shorter strokes on different angles to add dimension to your painting. Use a variety of directions, angles, and gestures if you're interested in creating an organic, dynamic painting. Or, repeat the same motions if you want the final result to be uniformPick up multiple colors at a time to create partially-blended strokes. Instead of completely mixing 2 or more shades together on the palette, load up the knife with a few colors and put them down onto the canvas. Use a variety of gestures and angles to spread these colors out and swirl them together. You can keep the colors mostly separate, or soften the edges with feathery strokes and gestures.
