If you’ve ever spread frosting on a cake, you have an idea of the textural possibilities when using a painting knife to create an oil painting, different from painting with a brush. The terms painting knife and palette knife are often used interchanged when describing the technique of applying paint to a surface with the blade of an artist’s knife. Rooftop curated a Knife Painting Workshop with Tithi Jay.
The tools are made of either plastic or of wood and metal and are available in a variety of blade shapes and sizes. A palette knife handle is straight, having a slight bend. The purpose of the palette knife is to mix colours or clean the surface of the palette.

Towards The End Of The Knife Painting Workshop
Tithi created a knife painting of the beautiful blue sky, white clouds, green grass and yellow flowers. All the participants appreciated her beautiful knife painting. All the attendees showed their co-created colourful knife paintings and had all smiles. The host thanked Tithi for teaching this unique yet colourful Knife painting.
