Looking for some interesting effects? Specialty knives can create all manner of textures.
Specialty knives come in all shapes and sizes. Their interesting cutouts are good for dragging, stamping, and pouncing.
Things I learned along the way:
They work best when used with an abundance of wet paint.
Try painting over a toned surface or over a painting that you want to discard so that when you drag the knife, color is still evident from the bottom layer.
If you are afraid of "wasting" a lot of paint before you are comfortable wielding these wild things, try mixing the color(s) that you will use later. Spread it on your palette, and drag the knives through it to see what you can create. Once finished, you can scoop up the paint and use it on a painting. Note: This works well with oil paint...acrylic paint..not so much... they dry too fast.
That being said, I believe there is no wasted paint. No matter what happens during your painting session, every moment you spend at the easel makes you a stronger artist.
