 Howard Behrens Biography, preference of the palette knife over the paintbrush
Classically trained and intensely focused, Howard Behrens' paintings are dramatic, intense, alive with color and texture -- and unique in his preference of the palette knife over the paintbrush.
But one fact always puzzled me. The color of the paint on the palette was so much brighter, more exciting than the paint on the canvas.
The western landscape lent itself to being more spontaneous -- and using the palette knife instead of the brush allowed me to work with the paint much more quickly while retaining the pure, vivid color of the paints.
