[joisrad]

love this! when i took an art/painting class (as a requirement in college), i also stuck with knives. brushes stress me out (except with water-colors). haha

[seascapeKen]

and no clean up!

why do you paint with knives?

[seascapeKen]

painting knives allow me to remain loose to create impression style paintings. i can work fast, so i don't concentrate on details so much. i do have some brush work in my paintings also.

You do know how to use a knife :-)

Thank you. This really helped, great tips; and nice to know what colors you used, and so glad it was not too fast in speed. Very nice work, great tutorial.

thats a little different that what i do im a dorthy dent instructor so i usually dont paint with knives and the style you have i just dont really like it but i guesd its just cause when i paint i make my colors blend but anyways good job but interesting

and cad orange is good for making grays with blues

I like his style. Good demo because he says what colors he is using, especially for beginners, and especially because it hard to tell in Youtube videos, a lot of videos they don't say enough about what they are doing. Nice limited but very useful and effective palette. I used to always use mostly earth tones, but I started painting again and have been struggling with color, and two colors that he mentioned, verid, and cad orang, make things easier for me. verid is good to make different greens
