And thanks so much for y...Karen,<BR/>Welcome to my blog! And thanks so much for your kind words! <BR/>It's funny, but I have no idea how I ended up with sap green. Originally I started with four colors but I think over time I decided to add in the green. I use a lot of sage green tones and it takes me about two seconds to mix the right color using Sap green. I am so thankful that the first three workshops I took were from teachers that all used a limited palette. I kind of figured that was how everyone painted! As far as the knives, I use the shorter ones, about one to one and a half inch blades. But I have a few really long ones that I use for the ship masts that work well. I often wonder if I will ever even learn how to paint with a brush!<BR/>LeslieLeslie Saetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117990337430054782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852236594466075258.post-67518076490812071452009-02-06T06:12:00.000-08:002009-02-06T06:12:00.000-08:00Hi Leslie, I'm so glad to have come over to yo...Hi Leslie, I'm so glad to have come over to your blog! The work is just so captivating. There is so much I like about it, but the first things that come to mind are that I'm amazed at your use of the palette knife, and I absolutely love the paint quality.<BR/><BR/>I have to ask you, how did you settle on Sap in your limited palette? And what is your favorite knife to work with? I love palette knives, though I'm not using them a lot now as you are, and I'm always interested in palette color choices.<BR/><BR/>Your paintings of Newport & Balboa island bring me really fond memories of when we used to take the ferry across for dinner at Dillman's. Such a special place.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to returning!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657187768183498744noreply@blogger.com
