Then I turn the brush around and use the wooden end to "scratch in" my signature! Actually, now that I think about it, I do use a brush for lettering - the BALBOA MARKET lettering was done with a brush. <BR/>Sometimes I use the knife edge to blend the paint at times so it is more smooth so it doesn't look so "edgy". It may look like a brush, but still the knife. Since I have never had any formal training with a palette knife I am probably doing it all wrong ... oh well!Leslie Saetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117990337430054782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852236594466075258.post-89013339503569665872009-02-05T20:02:00.000-08:002009-02-05T20:02:00.000-08:00With all that chaos all around you, you still pull...With all that chaos all around you, you still pulled out a beauty!<BR/>It matches everything and yet you're going to sell it! hmmmmmm...<BR/><BR/>I'm curious... All of your paintings are gorgeous, but some show more of the knife than others... Do you do some smoothing with brushes ..... or...... ;o) are you just really really really good!<BR/>I know you are, so don't bother responding to that one.... I really like the look of the palette knife... when others use it. Guess I'll need to practice as some of the effects I see in yours and other painter's palette knife paintings are so lovely.<BR/>Be well... stay dry and don't catch your child's cold!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852236594466075258.post-52866342768802406202009-02-05T15:34:00.000-08:002009-02-05T15:34:00.000-08:00Thanks so much.
