Pallette Knife Funny

| Palette Knife |
Painting yesterday afternoon, I took out a small glob of white from the jar. I rested the palette knife across the edge of the (chipped) dinner plate I use to mix paint. As I'm turning to my left to put the jar away, my right arm hits the palette knife handle, flipping it in the air. I clean up the paint on the floor noticing there doesn't seem to be the quantity I took out of the jar, but I didn't see any more paint anywhere...
because the palette knife flipped the glob of paint onto the back of my neck where I didn't see it until an hour or so later.
It was a mess! Thankfully, not all of the about teaspoon of paint dried in my hair or on my neck. My pony tail got unstuck without much pulling. Clean up was easy.
I laugh well.

I was working on my abstract ink and acrylic drawing from March 2023. It was too flat with very little depth and colors that were trying to get away from each other. There's more to paint now that I focus on the story the drawing it trying to tell.

Great story about the paint. It is good to be able to laugh at on’e adventures!
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteIt just goes to show, you can't turn your back on a paint loaded palette knife. The precision of the move is amazing.
I turned away for just a second to expose the back of my neck for that paint blob to land there. It would take me dozens of tries to do that again.
So funny about the paint I also read your post before. You are right about using our time as an investment.

Cathy,
ReplyDeleteA better paint set up will prevent flying paint blobs.
Have a fun week!
Oops!
ReplyDeleteA\Yes, William, it is a definite oops.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had taken a photo of the mess I had to clean off.
THAT explains it!!! Your initial post about the paint escapade showed up in my feed and when I went to comment it was gone, and now, here it is once again, with additions. So glad you caught the paint in your hair before it got too dry and really difficult to remove.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right.
Easy clean up, but the dried places did pinch a bit removing them from my hair. Mother brushing my hair out as a kid pinching.
