Palette Knife: broad knife strokes, our boldest style
High colour in broad, flat planes, the way a palette knife lays paint — the boldest, most graphic of our styles, from $49.
Where it comes from. The knife painters of the 1950s, who put the brush down and built the picture from flat slabs of colour.
Best for. Bold subjects with clear shapes: a dog's head, a horse, a car, a coastline. Fine detail is deliberately simplified.
Where it hangs. Modern and mid-century rooms, big walls, anywhere a bold, graphic painting can carry the room.
The brushwork. Knife slabs and scraped planes; the fewest strokes and the biggest ones.
