Thanks for uploading! Simple and useful - although you really stretched that double-loading section 😂

I admire an artist Kimberley Harris who paints grasses and flowers using the knife. I cannot work out how to get 2 colours/tones in one stroke using the knife. if you see her paintings you will know what I mean. if you know how I can do this I would really appreciate your advice

What kind of paint is best??

[@HarrysHappenings]

Your demo of petals...how can we add shadow or a tone using one stroke? is that possible?

[@MontMarteArt]

Hi there! The trick to creating tone with just one knife stroke is to load the palette knife with two colours side by side. Experiment with complementary colours or lighter and darker shade of the same colour to get the shadow tone that you like 😊
