Partial Mixing/Palette Knife

Title: "Pears"

Class: Painting Studio

Date: February 2020

​

     For class, we were told we needed to learn to use a palette knife. It was pretty hard at first but I think I somewhat got the hang of it. We also needed to practice partial mixing as a technique, in which you have your colors but you do not mix them. Rather, you just place them side by side, so that they do not blend together in a mixture.

     I decided to do pears because it allowed me to show many different colors side by side, and still looks pretty realistic.
