Knife Painting Obsession

Whenever I go for one of my side interests, I jump in with both feet and with a (perhaps unhealthy) dose of obsession. This knife painting isn’t done, but I’m in love, yes, again, with my little old painting knife. Not to be confused with a palette knife.

I can’t get enough of a double- or triple-loaded knife!

I’m working on the painting below, and I think my next step is to drizzle on those transparent acrylic inks I’m in love with. It’s probably better to be a painter who plans, but it doesn’t seem to work out like that for me all the time.

This one is done in acrylic, on that wonderful, smooth watercolor canvas. I’ll never use regular canvas again!
