Acrylic Palette Knife painting

Using the palette knife is great way to free up your painting style especially those who have an instinctively orderly mind. The other advantage I particularly love is that cleaning up is so easy, no brushes to clean, how good is that.
This painting is 8x8", most of the class used a larger format and we need to add a few finshing touches. I will upload the completed paintings after next class next week, so please check back to see
