Painting and Palette Knives
Cheap Joe's Art Stuff offers a variety of painting and painting accessories such as painting and palette knives. How can you tell if it is a Painting or Palette Knife?
Painting knives are generally used in place of a brush for applying color, paste and more directly to the canvas or painting surface.
Palette knives are designed for mixing and work best for that purpose, although many artists still use them for painting.
Painting and palette knives are both available with traditionally flat and also offset handles. The offset helps to keep the artist's knuckles out of the paint. In the end, how the artist chooses to use the knife determines whether it is a painting or a palette knife.
Cheap Joe's also offers inexpensive plastic knives for the beginner.
