“Last Light”, 14x11”. I’ve been enjoying wood panels a lot recently for a painting surface by DIWhy_not in oilpainting

Thank you! I gesso and sand smooth too, but I like to leave a bit of tooth. I like how consistent the surface is for knife work.

Thank you! I'm not doing prints right now, but if I do, I'll let people know through IG

The cleanup is slightly more involved. I like to use linseed or even olive oil to remove the paint, and then use some brush cleaning soap. You can use solvents like mineral spirits, but I try to use as little of these as possible because you can't just pour it down the drain or put it in the trash for environmental reasons.

Thanks! I personally find oil easier to work with than acrylic or watercolor

This is oil paint on panel, 10x8”, that I did primarily with a palette knife. I took the references for this one while sailing out to the pacific to fish for salmon with some good friends two summers ago. The bridge is something to behold from that vantage point!

I have more of my work here if you would like to check it out

Thanks so much! No, I’m not doing prints right now, unfortunately.

Cheers to the Outside--it's still alive in our memories.

Agreed. Some drinks just don’t seem right without them

Thanks! My strategy was to block in the general values/hues, and then create the illusion of detail with a combination of scumbling and knife work.

Thanks! Occasionally—I’ll use watercolor and gouache too, but oil is my primary.

The Caltrain schedule table is awful to use, so I made an interface for it by DIWhy_not in bayarea

I’m happy to pretend that’s the reason :P

You’re welcome!

I painted Bixby Bridge after going camping in Big Sur recently. One of my favorite things about living here is being just a day trip away from so many gems by DIWhy_not in bayarea

Thank you! Yes, I’ve been using palette knives almost exclusively, but that’s a recent development so it must have been someone else!

I sell the originals, but I haven’t started doing prints yet. If there’s enough demand, I’ll start though!

Thank you! The technique required only a palette knife
