Mountain Challenge

TheLandscapePainter 29 Jun 2025

My first knife only painting. The word "challenge" just about sums it up! Very rewarding though, it was a first time for a lot of things. I enjoyed it more than expected.

Great result Helen, maybe only using the knife in the future haha?

Thanks Jos. Haha I don't think so some how. No brushes to clean, but I got it all over myself, and my phone. That's what happens when somebody rings me when I'm painting🤣

Breathtakingly beautiful! Hard to believe you only used the knife! Just gorgeous!

Thank you Carolyn. I've never really wanted to attempt an all knife painting but I was inspired by Rebecca when she did it recently. You don't know til you try. It can get a bit muddy but it sort of doesn't matter as you can use it to create an effect. I think every mud mixer should have a go at this one, you discover yourself how to get out of trouble.

I am a mud-mixer for sure, but the knife and I are still fighting it out! I haven’t given up though so maybe I will try this challenge somewhere down the road! Gorgeous painting! I love the colors!

Carolyn, for almost 5 years my knife and I despised each other. 🤣 Keep going, you'll get there.

Great job, Helen! You passed your bravery test.

Wow this is fantastic result! I love it. You should do more knife paintings. When I did mine, it was challenging, but also fun and good learning.

Yes Jon, I was extremely brave!

Thank you Rebecca, another one would be good practice.

Excellent job! It's not an easy painting for sure!

Thank you Tarthur. I used 4 different knives on this, it was good practice.
