"Straight Ahead," a palette knife painting in oil by Cheri Christensen

This is a short demo of the recently filmed video by Cheri Christensen, an oil painter in the Russian Impressionistic style, who love to paint farm animals. In this case, she uses the palette knife to capture the aggressive and arrogant attitude of one of her favorite subject, a colorful rooster. The entire video is over 3 hours long and is available at wwwdotlilipubsordersdotcom.

very nice job Cheri. I like the little touch of putting the scratches throughout it at the end. Also, if you read this, what exact model and size of palette knife is that you are using? Thanks.

Gross...but effective....I am torn on this technique...I like the colourful effect...but do not like how the canvas looks...contradictory I know...but how I feel...but again...very effective result....a personal painting hangup......it also uses lots of paint...maybe as a poor student i have a hard time rationalizing using all of this paint for one small picture. Something like that I am sure.
