Palette knife or painting knife: what's the difference?
Palette knives have a straight, flexible blade, ideal for mixing colours on your palette without contaminating your brushes. Painting knives have a cranked handle and a more pointed blade, designed for applying paint directly to the canvas. Both are essential for impasto work, where thick layers of paint create relief and movement on the surface. Try them alongside Paint and Painting Accessories for a complete setup.
