How to use

Use the palette knife to mix colours on a palette by folding and scraping paint until the desired hue and consistency are reached. For application, load the blade with paint and apply to the canvas with controlled pressure to create smooth layers or textured impasto effects. The edge and tip can be used for finer lines or for lifting paint from the surface. After use, remove excess paint with a rag and clean the blade with appropriate solvent or soap and water depending on the paint type, then dry thoroughly to protect the metal and wooden handle.

Usage recommendations

Store the knife dry and avoid prolonged exposure to solvents on the wooden handle. For oil paints, clean the blade promptly with a suitable solvent before washing with soap and water. For acrylics, remove paint before it fully dries to preserve blade performance. Regular cleaning and careful storage will extend the tool's working life.
