Painting knives are often used for oil painting techniques, but they work great for acrylic paint as well. A painting knife is very useful for mixing colors, especially when you want to combine them with a medium or gel, but did you know you can also use them to paint? You can use a palette knife in your work to create thin lines, add more texture and to blend colors on your canvas. Metal scrapers are fun to try out as well for special effects and textures.
Painting knives
Our painting knives are engineered with top-quality one-piece blades made of stainless steel, so they are flexible yet strong while retaining their shape. Because there are no welding spots between the handle and the knife itself, it is really easy to clean. Enjoy excellent grip and comfort with our ergonomically designed handles.
We offer painting knives in different shapes and sizes, from small and precise to big and bold! Choose your preferred size and use them for anything from mixing paints and auxiliaries to applying paint directly onto your canvas.
Scrapers
For even more texture and special effects, Amsterdam offers different scrapers to create different effects with. The strong, sturdy blade of these metal scrapers is resilient and perfect for various scraping techniques, as well as mixing and adding structure to paint, gels, modeling paste and various other pasty materials. These scrapers are also perfect for applying paint and gels in layers. Three sides have fine to rough serrations, while one side is smooth.
