Teaspoon painting

Does the wife know you're using her teaspoons? Certainly an atmospheric painting - what's wrong with a painting knife, though? You can get 'em in all sorts of shapes now - always used to be an elongated triangle donkey's years ago, when I got mine.

I'm quite impressed and all for using teaspoons or whatever one can find. I use palette knives, wooden spoons, forks, matches, credit cards ( old ones! ), the long wooden sticks that you get with your tea in cafes and all kinds of things. As you say Paul it liberates and gives you a feeling of freedom. Well done, I like it.

Never thought of this for a painting tool Paul, very innovative. A lovely painting too.

Shh Robert she doesn't know yet,, LOL. I have just about very shape of palette there is in my studio but that would not be a experiment lol. I wanted to use something different and work differently with application and techniques hence the teaspoon! I was very surprised at the detail the paint created as I added globs of paint on the spoon and mixed them on the paper surface. I will use spoons again :) Thanks for the comments Robert, much appreciated.

Thank you very much Satu it was really enjoyable. I can see why you use these different tools. You really do work with the paint in a different way using spoons :) Thanks for your comments.

Hi Carole good to see you online again ;-) Thank you very much for your comments!

Well done Paul, this is amazing. I'm just coming to terms with using a palette knife and i enjoyed that. Think you have made a more impressionistic painting here. Hope you do another with the teaspoon,or will you move up to a tablespoon? It would be great to see you introduce more colour?

Hi Stephen good to catch you online. Thanks very much for your comments/feedback it is much appreciated. I will try a few more yet with various spoons and colours. Just thought I would do a few tonal studies first to get a better feel of application and effect. Thanks again Stephen :)

That's excellent. I was looking forward with some trepidation to seeing a painting of a teaspoon, wondering how interesting such a thing could possibly be, and was relieved to find it a painting done WITH a teaspoon instead. I've very tempted to try this myself.

Thank you very much Catherine for the great comments : ) Have a go try a painting with a teaspoon its great fun. I did this as an application and tonal study before trying a colour work. Afon Llugwy was also painted with a teaspoon : )
