As I started my second YouTube lesson on using the palette knife to paint tulips, I thought I'd be more comfortable and a little better at it... Nope... Still hard. Every stroke is its own little scary event. It seems to help if I make sound effects. For a leaf, "Psshhhhhtttt!" works pretty well. On the other side maybe, "Whhhhsshhh!" When going back in to fix a wrong spot on a leaf, just a little "Ffffffttt!" seems to do. The flower strokes require more vowels. A quick, "Uuuuhh!" or an, "Eeeek!" or an, "OoooKay!"
Painting with a palette knife turns out to be a noisy process. And, no, that part wasn't in the lesson.
I cannot wait until this one is dry so I can run my fingers across it and feel the textures of the paint.
