@everyone Anyone know of a videos showing how to load your palette knife for different flower types? I saw one yesterday, but it’s not in my history and I really want to find it?

I admire an artist Kimberley Harris who paints grasses and flowers using the knife. I cannot work out how to get 2 colours/tones in one stroke using the knife. if you see her paintings you will know what I mean. if you know how I can do this I would really appreciate your advice

[HarrysHappenings]

Your demo of petals...how can we add shadow or a tone using one stroke? is that possible?
