Working Loose on Peonies, Bowl of Beauties

Peony oil painting
20x20cm deep box canvas (1.5inch)

Painted with a palette knife.

Soft Edges
Obtaining soft edges with a palette knife is difficult, so I first painted the peonies followed by the background. Where I wanted soft edges, I swiped palette knife across the edge to soften it and mix the paint. Where necessary I added extra paint on the knife before swiping going from the petal into the background and sometimes vice versa.
