Painting with a painting knife last week in John Eberberger’s workshop last week reminded me how different it is from a brush.  The main differences are :1) you have less control (at least I do, I’ve seen some deft knife handeling by experts like Camille and John); 2) you can achieve much cleaner color; 3) the texture of the painting is interesting. I have an ongoing goal to loosen up my paint application, so the knife is a great tool.  Do you use a painting knife?  What’s your experience?
