This painting was done with only paint knives. This is part of a challenge I set for myself back in December. To paint 100 oil paintings on paper with no medium and only paint knives. The purpose was to grow my oil painting skills and to learn how to paint with paint knives which I bought a couple of years ago. This painting measures 22x30 inches.

I have started painting every day. My new job is artist. I want to increase my skill set in so many mediums. My
first move is to get better at my oil painting. I also want to improve on using painting knives. I am not going to stop painting in gouache or pastel. Everyday I am going to paint in oil until I get to 100 paintings. Here we go! #1 16x20 oil on paper
