Palette knives

Palette knives

In childhood I did not have a palette knife. I tried to make it myself. My homemade palette knife looked like a real one, but it was useless because was made of a thick and tough metal plate. My first painting in the technique of a palette knife was painted with old blunt blade of a knife. Now I look at this painting and I think that then it turned out well.

Most often I use 3 palette knives, which are on the right in the photo. The biggest palette knife (third from left) I bought to clean the palette. Sometimes I use this spatula in work.

Sometimes they write to me that the palette knife technique is a very complex technique. Maybe yes. Everyone has his own vocation in life. I can’t say that I suffered with a palette knife in my hand. This is supreme pleasure for me - finish work and drink 30 grams of cognac (if cognac is available) to relax. Personally, it’s much harder for me to sell than to paint. Probably because I'm an artist, not a sales manager.
