Comment on Happy birthday to me :-) by Nithya

Hello Julie,
Lovely hearing from you, thank you for the wishes and lovely words. I plan to do a video of me painting with the knife, will let you know when it is done. It’s top most on my to do list right now. I use acrylic paints, not oils. And I use a small knife, which will be about half an inch wide. These paintings are small so thats the only knife I use. Fpr a larger painting I used knives upto 2 inches wide. They spread quick and cover areas nicely. I paint on hardboard. I will do a post on that as well, how these boards are prepared.

Warm Regards,
Nithya

Hello Nithya,

Have been enjoying your paintings. They are so, so beautiful. Do you use palette knives exclusively?
I am a ‘beginner’ palette knife painter and would appreciate your suggestions.
Do you have a palette knife video or book I could buy from you?

What are your favorite palette knives? OIl Paints? Canvases? Other painting toys?

THank you so much……. Julie Reagan
