Grandink Art Palette Are A Boon For Oil Painting
With a Grandink palette knife, artists can cover their surface much more quickly than with a brush. Scoop up some paint with the knife and spread it across the surface to cover the white of the canvas. Get a large, flat palette knife to speed up your painting process.
Another advantage to painting with a palette knife is that artists can achieve thick texture on the canvas. By using viscous mediums that hold their shape, painters can create three-dimensional-looking peaks.
Palette knives are cheap, often cheaper than quality stiff oil painting brushes, they’re easy to clean and last longer. To clean a palette knife, all you have to do is wipe paint from the knife with a paper towel. Brushes can degrade over time, especially if you wash them in solvents. However, palette knives will stand the test of time.
Palette knives are a multi-purpose tool. It’s likely that if you work with acrylics or oil paints you own a few palette knives already. You can also use them for mixing colors on the palette.

Load up the knife with paintWhether you want to add paint to the canvas directly or bring colors into the center of the palette to mix them, you’ll follow the same technique. Use the flat, straight edge of the knife to scrape up a blob of paint from the perimeter of the palette. Place it down at the desired spot using a wiping motion.
| Blend paint colors together on the palette using the knife.Load up the knife with a single color and place it onto a clean spot near the center of the palette. Wipe off the knife with a paper towel or rag and then pick up another color. Add the new color to the same spot. Use the bottom or top of the blade to manipulate and combine the paints. Work in circular or seesaw motions to mix the colors, continuously applying downward pressure.
| Angle the knife on the canvas to create different textures.Use the flat base of the knife to drag the color across the canvas. Try pushing paint at a 45-degree angle for more texture. Flick the knife upwards at the end of the gesture to create a 3-dimensional peak. Or you can twist the knife in an undulating wave gesture to create irregular textures. |

Point the knife in different directions to create visual movement.The most comfortable position may be holding the Grandink knife at a 45-degree angle in relation to your body. But try holding it perpendicular to your body to create vertical lines. Rotate your wrist as you apply paint to the canvas to create swirls. Try layering a series of shorter strokes on different angles to add dimension to your painting.
| Pick up multiple colors at a time to create partially blended strokes.Instead of completely mixing 2 or more shades together on the palette, load up the knife with a few colors and put them down onto the canvas. Use a variety of gestures and angles to spread these colors out and swirl them together.
