It is difficult to paint flowers because it is not just a geometric object, but also a living creation of nature, delicate, transparent.
I made a tutorial on creating a rose with a palette knife in order to understand its geometric shape.

The second lesson is going in relaxed way, painting with a palette knife is becoming the pleasure and therapy.

The impasto technique involves painting in several layers. Without knowing this subtlety, the work can easily fail and disappointment often forces you to quit painting and no longer take a palette knife in your hands.
The secret is to correctly observe the thickness of the first layer. In my tutorial, I will talk about this in detail.
If you apply the background correctly, then you can adjust your work at any time. No stress that something can go wrong, everything is easy and interesting.
Thus, you simply cannot fail!

It has to be a soft one. You can check it if you try it on a canvas, it has to bend. If the canvas bends, it is a hard palette knife, and doesn’t match you.
The palette knife “Fish” is universal and very useful. It has rounded edges. You’ll know more in the course about that.
