still life exercises with palette knives

I have been trying to use only knives for painting for the past few days. Didn't spend much time on each one but I did enjoy the process.

I feel that I am still trying to use knives to achieve the same effects that brushes would achieve. Exercise more, and I shall become freer with knives.

haven't been painting for a while. wasn't proud of the homework that i rushed yesterday. thank goodness it's just in progress work. final version due next week.

had fun with the low key set up.

struggled with metal colors in the morning. adam came to help. made me realize the importance of cad. orange and burnt umber. went to the store across street to get my own tube of cad. orange right after the class.
