You get into a set way of painting, generally, and there’s no reason why not. Artists keep to their own style and don’t deviate. Their work is recognisable because of that. But sometimes it is good to do a different style, if only to see if you prefer it, or perhaps to use a snippet of the other style in your own work.
This is where I found myself the other day. Painting in a very different style, more towards abstract-meets-contemporary (ish).

Different style yet I still recognize you in it! Striking painting! ❤️
Ann this is lovely...enjoy seeing the texture you captured in this painting. Hope you have a great weekend.
Interesting to watch Ann and to see it all come together with your brushstrokes.
Love the texture!
Thanks Robin. It is strange how a style carries into different artworks :)
Thanks Debbie….Have a good weekend too :)
Thanks Eileen…Glad I set the camera up (I almost forgot to press record!) doh
Thanks Marie…I enjoyed all that juicy paint :)
I'd like to be better at using the palette knife. The results never seem satisfactory for me, too blobby, but you seem to have conquered the technique. I need lessons from you!
Could be that I'm too mean with the paint.
It’s a case of keep trying. I was too ‘careful’ in the beginning. It was one day when a painting failed and I was so frustrated I took a larger palette knife and just put some positive strokes on the piece, unbelievably it worked. In fact, very often I find that working with a brush can make my work tight, but the palette knife does all the work for you.
I heard a saying once, paint is no good in the tube! ;)
