Definitely Not Ordinary Painting Knives

I've been having great fun trying out the weirdly and wonderfully shaped painting knives from Italian paint company RGM. But I've been enjoying myself so much I'd forgotten to take photos where you can clearly see the marks made by a single knife.

So earlier this week I played around on a sheet of paper with some of my favorite shapes, stopping to take photos. I showed you the end result on Wednesday, and I've now used the photos I took while doing this to write a review of RGM's painting knives.

The only bad thing about these knives as far as I'm concerned is that they may be hard to find. Being so different, I don't see smaller art supplies stores stocking them. But it never hurts to ask your local store if they could order an item for you!
