I was also a student in your Sacramento class in 2010.<br /><br />As one of your fans and also a fan of Richard Schmid, I use google to see if it is mentioned anywhere what type of palette knife he uses. A gentlemen has posted a review of Mr. Schmid's DVD "November Landscape"; the blog site http://www.artdvdreview.com/2010/03/richard-schmid-part-1.html shows a photo of Mr. Schmids' palette knife, and says the DVD<br />shows him using it alot. I have not seen the DVD, but due to your comments and now knowing about this DVD, I will certainly seek it out.<br /><br />Your painting is lovely, as always. And thank you for taking the time to post. I am so sorry for your driving "ticket."silentwitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629894367573551572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-81422093890245132302011-04-14T17:26:02.545-06:002011-04-14T17:26:02.545-06:00Hello, I've been following your blog for a ver...Hello, I've been following your blog for a very long time and find it quite an inspiration. As for palette knifes, the best I've ever used, (and still do) are from Langnickel. They are pricey but made from sword steel. You can find them on line at art supply stores. Hope you give them a try and report back on your blog. Continued success.<br />BlancheBlanche Niznikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616130987484959852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-58069998289574254152011-04-14T17:25:31.757-06:002011-04-14T17:25:31.757-06:00Hi Qiang,

I took your workshop in Sacramento a year or so ago and you told me that I had to paint hundreds of roses in order to get it right. I thought I would start on that project soon.<br />Ellen BrandinEllen Brandinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463898285777040829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-842547307913027222011-04-14T12:49:17.633-06:002011-04-14T12:49:17.633-06:00Despite the ticket and tiredness - It's still ...Despite the ticket and tiredness - It's still a fantastic piece!<br /><br />I'm glad you asked about the flexible knives - I've been looking for them too - I'm going to try the ones Kathryn and Mary mentioned....Jane Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05192510479303183904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-19613312085655253642011-04-14T09:49:09.845-06:002011-04-14T09:49:09.845-06:00Hi Qiang,

I tried Daniel Smith knives and (depending on the style and size) they are nice and flexible.

Yes, th...Thank you for your kind post on my blog. <br /><br />Yes, the connoisseur palette knife that I have is very soft. I have tried several of other brands and they are too stiff. This one is much more flexible than most--very supple. I don't remember where I got it, but the website that I posted for you has a dealer locator and it looks like there are several stores in your area that carry them. Perhaps you can go hold one in your hand before deciding. <br /><br />KathrynKathryn Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957269633354664968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-24958478579888176492011-04-13T15:35:38.488-06:002011-04-13T15:35:38.488-06:00My very flexible palette knife, my favorite, is by...My very flexible palette knife, my favorite, is by "Connoisseur", # 6810- 16.
