Work in progress

This is what I started today. Its an oil painting I’m trying to paint with only a palette knife… Not so bad until I get to the details and then its a pain in the a**

The wooden posts dont look that great yet and still need to work on the water…have to try making the reflections without making it look all muddy and gross. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow…

Oh and this is a small canvas, 6×12 I think. Didnt want to start big since its been so long since I’ve painted with oils :)

  1. I think you’re doing well. I couldn’t paint with only one tool.

    found this just looking through art. Only using a palette knife has to be hard, and it looks so good thus far. I couldn’t do this, I cant use only one tool. So today this is my artist of the week.

  3. gorgeous! i love the color and texture of oil paints :) keep it up!
