10x8 oils

This is my latest attempt at a knife painting, I have the feeling that it is gradually coming together, a bit rough around the edges (literally) but overall I am happy with it. I am going to do a brush painting of this scene, which by the way is taken from a photo I took this morning(Mon 1st June 2015)..the painting was done 90%knife 5% finger and 5% brush.

Here are the knives I use:- the  top one is a knife that is becoming very poular, because it can be used for curved edges and laying on very broken colour,

the next one down is a detail knife and...

the bottom one is a vintage George Rowney knife I am pretty sure it is a very rare item as I cannot find another one like it,  it has a beautiful feel to it which the modern knives do not have
