The Artwork of Cindy Roberts
Palette Knife
I love the texture and energy that a palette knife brings to the painting. I build layers with it by laying on new colors or by glazing thin transparent colors or scumbling, then scraping the surface afterwards with the knife or end of a sharpened brush to bring back other layers of colors.
ABstract
I enjoy laying in shapes of color, reacting to the marks that I lay down, rotating my canvas and responding to what I see. I enjoy making large movement with the palette knife, painting from my shoulder, as well as using various knives, tools found in the hardware stores or in my collection of found objects that create interesting marks and texture. I enjoy working with both small and large substrates. I love being drawn into the process of creation.
