Western Expanse

One nice thing about a knife-only painting: no brushes to clean! I can tell from the photograph in the book that Bob did use the brush in a couple places, but I decided to just go 100% knife.

What? 100% knife? Would never have thought that, it's amazing. Absolutely love the sky. And the blending, can't imagine how you did those distant misty areas. Top job!

This is eye catching. The knife makes for so much movement in the clouds. Nice blend of colors also!

Gorgeous!

Super!

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I appreciate it!
@TheLandscapePainter - This painting does have a canvas toned with thinned-out Phthalo Blue, so leaving some of those areas more-or-less untouched or just doing a single scrape into the toning allowed for some of the softer passages.
