MAY art challenge

here is a sneak peek of my favorite food!

Palette Knife Paintings

Recently, Arts Northeast members gathered to explore palette knife painting. A Palette Knife is a thin blade of varying flexibility set in a handle and used for mixing colours or applying them to a canvas. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are when used for applying paint to a canvas, it usually results in a more impressionistic painting.

Here is a sampling of our efforts! Hope you enjoy.
