Why paint with a palette knife?

 

Reason #4: Artists can grow in their creative efforts by experimenting with different painting tools. Sometimes we just need to challenge ourselves and try a different approach in order to break out of a rut. I felt very clumsy the first time I painted with a palette knife (and sometimes still do), but with practice it gets easier and now it's my preferred tool.

Happy Thanksgiving!
