In Progress
Smitten with this color palette, I continue to explore it's possibilities with a new piece.

Working on canvas I'm using acrylic paint, the heavier bodied type that holds its shape, making for lots of delicious texture. 

palette knives

Using palette knives almost exclusively now, I find they are an exiting tool providing a type of control and effects not possible with brushes.

I'm still a fan of my abnormally large collection of size triple 0 through 10 brushes. They're old friends, just having a well earned holiday while I put my knives through their paces on the canvas.   

Here's to old friends and new pals!
