Two of my students have been creating some fabulous work with their palette knives - and it has inspired me to use my own! On this one, I have used my Princeton Catalyst exclusively. I love the flexible head, especially when laying down that first lean coat of color! It spreads smooth and lean, unlike the scratchy scraping of the metal knife. I also used it for the thick to layer, but the other knifes also work well when just skimming that first layer of paint. I think the catalyst produces a smoother finish than my metal knives. I have most of the tips, but really prefer the small, angled head the most. I have rarely used my others......except when painting larger works! Time to wrap up shop - we are meeting friends for dinner! Painting number 1480 in 1480 days :)
