My 2 favourites!


I have 2 favourite painters, both of them do pallet knife paintings.

1. Leonid Afremov : Afremov is a Israeli painter. He does many different art exhibitions and his paintings are more landscapes. Afremov paints with lots of warm colours, and they usually have a subject - often a person / a couple.  By adding a couple, or a person, it makes the painting instantly more relatable - therefore, people will want spend more time looking at the paintings and his work. He has also produced one painting in cold colours, with a small yellow boat
2. Paul Wright : Wright is another pallet knife painter. He focuses more on the physical side of things : Portraits, objects. his main focus is portraits where he uses different colours to portray the emotions he wants the viewer to feel. he also smudges the paintings in places to add more texture and to display how the characters are feeling inside. Ones with a more 'wild' approach to their strokes could have more going on in their head - they may be angry or stressed; the ones with a neater finish come across as more peaceful and relaxed, or in some cases, upset. on the other hand, he sometimes paints objects such as shoes. these paintings are usually of scruffy shoes or shoes with holes in them - sometimes however, he paints shoes that look very clean and unworn - but he always manage to produce emotion.
