To prepare for the work with our everyday objects that we were to paint for our next project using oil paints we practiced on sheets of square canvas and did one with the paint brushes and one with a palette knife. We did an acrylic wash in the background and for the one with paintbrushes I used a blue wash and for the palette knife apple I did a burnt Sienna wash. The apple with the paintbrush turned out ok I think but I didn't do as much reflective values in the apple as I could have I think which might have helped with its 3 dimensional aspects. using the oil paint was a challenge and this was my first time working with it. Trying to figure out how to lay the paint down with it all blending together was hard especially when every time I would lay down white it would blend right in. The palette knife apple was just a ... no its just no. I never imagined how hard working with a palette knife would be but it was extremely difficult, like smearing on icing. I can't really see myself ever voluntarily working with the palette knife haha.
