Exercise applying paint without brushes

Applying paint without brushes

I’ve used palette knives for seascapes before, mainly as  an excuse not to clean my brushes, and a fair amount of painting ( certainlky in oils) I do with my hands. This painting was completed fairly quickly, with only 3 layers over the course of a few weeks.

I used an existing photograph I had of the Devon coast; (find photo and insert here)

I prepared the canvas with a very bright acrylic orange and kept to a fairly limited palette.
