This was painted the same week I painted "Cup a Day" in the previous post. I chose a similar color palette but a much different textured effect, using a palette knife rather than a brush. It's an old technique, but for me there is still something new and even exciting about using the knife rather than a brush. Working with impasto is like literally sculpting in paint for me; I love thick textures, which only the knife can really shape to my satisfaction.
