Let's paint a wonderfully textured pond landscape with peaceful water lillies and lily pads on a stretched canvas. The art technique you see here is called Daubism.

Are you looking to add more movement and texture into your acrylic and oil paintings? In today's video I will show you how I used spoons and palette knives on this abstract pond painting and create a fantastic, low relief sculpture effect in paint as well as a sense of movement.

I am painting with a spoon applying thick slabs of oil paint. The technique is identical when you are using acrylic paint. This painting is on stretched cotton canvas and is named "Joyful Swim" and is part of my Pond Series body of work. I waited until the underpainting was thoroughly dry before adding this texture.

There are many tools you can use to add texture to your artwork. You can use painting knives, palette knives, spoons, cotton buds (Q-Tips), sponges, brushes, your fingers, really anything can be used to make texture.

Palette knives have a flat blade and are normally used to mix paint but you can also apply paint with them
Painting knives have the hooked edge -see that hooked edge when you look from the side? They come in many sizes and shapes, and can make some wonderful textures
Spoons I use two different sizes of spoons in my work. The spoon leaves a soft, wide mark that is difficult to replicate with a painting knife. Remember if you paint with a spoon to not use it for eating
