I started using one when I had a large space to get pigment onto. Mix a big pile very loosely, and then load the knife to transport it to the canvas. I love the texture AND evidence of the colors used in the mixture.
Mine is on watercolor paper that had been thickly covered with metallic gold acrylic underpainting.

great job with the knife. I love your color and active surface.
thanks Julie! I fight tight realism all the time...so this is definitely a "think out of the box" method where you CAN't get too real!
Thank you for choosing this one, Vicki! I don't believe I would have ever tried it otherwise. It opened my eyes on several levels about using that tool regularly. I'm hoping to try putting it to use more.
Well, cat tell, diana! Looks like you've been doing it forever
my apologies for taking so long to compliment you on your painting and to say thank you for this difficult challenge that i wasn't thrilled with but definitely needed.
