An Artist's Palette

I love to paint. It's been a while, though, since I've picked up the painting knives and brushes. Sometimes it good to step away from electronics and push wet pigment around on a canvas. Well, here I go again... everything is ready to go: I tend to use large brushes to lay down broad strokes of color, and then use knives to work in the details. Those tubes of Golden Acrylics? I use acrylics to tone the canvas before working with oil paint. And, yes, sharped-eyed readers, that is indeed a Bob "Happy Little Clouds" Ross painting knife.
