Using the Palette Knife tool
The Palette Knife tool interacts with the medium on the canvas.
Generally, you use it with strokes placed by the Oil Brush tool as this is
the only tool that applies large amounts of its medium. As the mass of
the medium reduces in a spot, there is less to smear and using the
Palette Knife tool has less effect. This means that the Crayon tool,
which applies very little medium, is only slightly affected by the Palette
Knife tool.
The method of loading or cleaning the Palette Knife tool is similar to
the Oil Brush tool. You can clean it automatically after each stroke,
retain the color picked up from the canvas, or allow manual cleaning.
You can use the Palette Knife tool to apply pigment or smear it.
Paint strokes applied by the Palette Knife tool are wet in terms of how
strokes interact with other strokes by smearing or mixing together. For
more information, see “To dry or wet an Art Media layer” on page 608.
