2. Dramatic Mountain Scapes
Mountains lend themselves perfectly to palette knife techniques, allowing for rocky textures and layered effects.
Technique:
- Start with a base color for the sky and background.
- Use the knife edge to carve rocky ridges and mountain peaks.
- Layer darker shades first, then add lighter highlights for depth.
Tips:
- Mix colors on the knife for natural stone textures.
- Experiment with scraping to create realistic crevices and cracks.
- Keep strokes bold and confident to convey the grandeur of the mountains.
