Bluebell Square by Amanda Bates

Lovely artwork

Scrumptious texture and colour Amanda. There is something really satisfying about working with a painting knife isn't there? Your results make for a lovely painting.

Wonderful. Wish it was bluebell time now instead of dark nights.

Thank you, Glennis, Julie and Dawn. ~~~ Julie - yup, definitely getting satisfaction fro the quick coverage, high saturation colours, interesting mix effects and range of textures that a painting knife affords. It took me a while to come to grips with it in acrylics - the speed of the paint drying affects the way that the knife can be used. ~~~ Dawn. Bluebell season holds a promise of summer just around the corner; one of the reasons it is so very special. I put bluebells on our wedding stationary (an April wedding, over a decade ago).
