How to use

Use the palette knife to pick up and mix paints on a palette, combining pigments and mediums until the desired consistency and color are achieved. For textured application, load the blade with paint and press or drag onto the painting surface to create impasto effects; adjust angle and pressure to vary texture. To scrape, hold the handle steady and use the flat side of the blade to remove excess paint from canvas or to clean the palette. After use, wipe excess paint from the blade and wash with mild soap and water; dry thoroughly to preserve the handle and blade condition.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid using the palette knife on very rough or abrasive surfaces that could damage the blade edge. Store in a dry place and dry the blade after cleaning to maintain corrosion resistance. Use separate knives for solvent-heavy and water-based media if cross-contamination is a concern.
