I use palette knives a lot in all my painting and they are fabulous, especially plein air. I still find the wedge, flattish paint-shapers the best shape but they come third in my arsenal of tools after brushes and knives. I also use my credit card, fingers...I am very messy indeed. Happy experimenting with them!the distracted painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215830406391462042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767446250083845292.post-9849911109432143992013-04-26T13:33:49.086-07:002013-04-26T13:33:49.086-07:00Lovely!

I would like to try them plein air painting, perhaps along with some knives... <br />Have you tried this?Keenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803702087236434572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767446250083845292.post-31606840247249268282013-02-13T16:44:10.783-08:002013-02-13T16:44:10.783-08:00So good to have you back!

She paints with a homemade squeegee tool in hand, and a palette knife. I went out seeking the scraper she modifies, and finally found a weird long-handled one in an auto parts store. Art store-hardware store-auto parts store--all great retail therapy. Auto parts store had great flexible scrapers by 3M cheap!
