Studio Essentials : Painting Tools : Set of 6

Palette knives look simple but are surprisingly versatile. Longer narrower blades will flex against the painting surface, allowing the artist to smear paint thinly over large areas. Thinner, more pointed blades are great for adding detail, or for sketching in the outlines of distant features of landscapes.

A great value set of 6 painting knives that includes several of the main essential shapes.
