You are so great in your explanations. And this comes from an artist (myself) who has also taught art classes at the college level for many years. And the best part is: your obvious joy and enthusiasm when talking about anything art related. Instead of the 8 hundred or so views you've had so far it should be 80 thousand! You are that good! Keep these great videos coming!
Thank you very much for your kind words! It means a lot to me - so appreciate it! I must credit the instructors I had in my life with the training I share here and the passion for art that they passed on.
I never thought to use the knife that way! I will try it as I'm often adjusting my shapes. I especially appreciate your gloved hand. What's on us is also in us and the last thing we need is paint inside our bodies. Thank you for not only demonstrating a great technique but also safer way to enjoy painting. (Ventilate, ventilate, ventilate.)
Thank you for sharing! So glad this video inspired to use the palette knife in a different way. Yes - completely agree about glove wearing! I almost always wear gloves now while painting after years and years of not.
Such an incredible class! I really enjoyed seeing how you utilized palette knife to sculpt/ carve images/ edges. Great way to receive another perspective on edges and how to create them with a palette knife. This is forever carved in my memory. So excited to view more of your lessions. Gratitude!
Your demonstration of these techniques is just what I have needed. This video opens doors for the use of palette knife that I had no idea existed. Kudos!
I primarily paint landscapes and palette knives are an indispensable tool for me. I am so happy that you produced this video to demonstrate the different ways they can be used. My collection includes a wide variety of knives that each have a specific application in my painting. They are wonderful to create textures like tree bark that actually looks and feels like real bark. When painting water, they are great for creating shore water lines that must be straight and very sharp. As always, well done Elizabeth!
Enjoyed watching ur demonstration of the many uses of the palette knife. It did make a tremendous difference! At 1st I thought u we’re going to scrape a hole in the canvas , u were digging into the fabric, but each time I looked at the picture it made a very big difference
So glad to hear that, thank you for sharing! Yes, I imagine that I do sometimes really 'dig in' - I sometimes don't realize how heavy handed I get. Linen is very very strong. But this is also why I like to paint on a hard surface - as it allows me to be more free with the palette knife and not worry about damaging anything! 😂
Very informative presentation...you explained using the palette knife well. I like the fact that you used the relief you found at the thrift store. What really impressed me was the doors you showed. My wife and I just returned from 12 day tour of Italy, Florence was one of the cities we toured. We were at those doors this time last week. So many awesome sights to see in Italy. Thanks for putting this together. Well done!
Thank you for your kind words - am glad you enjoyed this video. How wonderful that you just returned from a tour of Italy and especially Florence - and got to see those doors. Italy is an incredible country - lots of amazing art.
I’m so happy your excellent video popped up! Thank you for your explanation of how you use palette knives. I’ll be trying out these techniques. I subscribed and I look forward to seeing others you’ve posted.
Your Way of showing were so clear - that made me understand what you really do to create the nuanced qualities of your painting. You Seem to hold the paletknive on the very knife - and then you used your finger glove and a brush - in very subtle ways creating a very three dimensional image - very beautifully done ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Landscape artist here. I love my palette knives, but your skills are amazing. That was some phenomenal work. I would have loved to see the rest of your progress on that. Just outstanding. Thank you for sharing with us!
This is brilliant and I’m happy I’ve found you and these techniques. I’ve used a pallette knife but not to your level of skill. Now I can advance. Thanks so much! Carolyn
wow a great way to use this tool. I always thought the palette knife was specific to adding paint. Your technique uses the knife as a kind of brush but with a hard edge and surface great video!
I have so enjoyed your painting and how you used your palette knife, I would not even imagine you could have made the 3 d images with a palette knife. You are so talented
Thank you so much for your kind words :) Lots more painting will be coming up in future videos! I do have some longer length painting videos in my video library too.
Enlightening indeed! I feel almost strange like a kid getting a gift he didn't quite imagined but found very precious. There is some best XIX century's presence in your persona :). Thank you.
Hi from Brisbane Australia. My name is Stephen and I'm a fan. Thanks for this video in particular, as I've just started to work with a palette knife and found your use of them interesting. Cheers
I just came across your channel (it was recommended), and I thoroughly enjoyed your pallet knife tutorial. I also find you absolutely delightful! New sub, looking forward to watching your channel. ❤
Gloves aren't essential - but they are recommended if you work with cadmium paints and lead white (especially). I used to not wear gloves at all, but am a little bit more health conscious now ;) I also use my hands a lot in my paints, if I didn't do this so much I might skip the gloves...
Your beauty and sweet charming manner is mesmerizing! (over 60 straight mom here, not a perv! lol) Great info, glad I found you and subscribed just now!
Olá, Elisabeth! Nesses últimos anos, aprendi muito mais com seus ensinamentos do que com vários livros sobre técnicas artísticas que tenho. Eu lhe agradeço muito. Um cordial abraço!
Thank you for uploading, this is so intresting. Perhaps I´m missing something, but I can´t seem to ascertain which medium you are using. Is this a technique for oils or acyrillics, or does it work equally for both? Thank you.
Ah, am realizing I may have forgotten to say - will remember for future videos. I am using oil paints - I primarily use oils. This technique is primarily for oils - however you can definitely use it on acrylic paints. It just might be a little bit more difficult/ tricky as acrylics dry much faster. There are mediums one can use to get acrylics to dry slower though - or one could work very quickly.
Thank you for your amazing video, your skill, your enthusiasm and your love of painting which shines through in your explanation. Learnt a lot. 😊
You are actually sculpting on a flat surface and so successful. It is a joy to watch you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate it very much.

I love how you explain how to use the pallet knife. You have a great personality. I am following your Videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for following!
I learned scraping on my own & the great amount of possibilities /usages/techniques. Wow ! Pre internet !
So cool! Not many use the palette knife for scraping. Thats awesome that you have already been using it in such a way.
Excellent video! Showing your source material was a nice touch.
Thank you! I thought that would be helpful to see.
Thanks for showing us what we can do more with palette knives. You took your time to even explain it in a very elaborate way. ❤
It is my pleasure! You are so welcome, glad it is helpful.

Thanks for the palette knife "smudging" tip. I've also used my knives in that way, but not nearly with as much intention and effect. Cheers!
You are welcome! Glad this video was helpful. That is awesome that you had already been using the palette knife in such a way.

Thank you so much for your kind words! The painting isn't finished yet, but I plan to complete it. Will show it in a future video!
Wonderful demonstration! Gloves seem to be an essential tool too??

I wish I had a studio!
Having a studio is really great, but you can paint really anywhere! Make a temporary studio wherever you can set up your easel for a painting session.
