Knives
Knives are useful tools for various applications in art. Palette knives for painting and texture work are widely used. A palette knife is also handy for separating the pages in a watercolour paper block.
Other applications for using a sharp blade includes scratching lines for detail work in watercolour, colour pencil, and graphite.
An interesting technique for using a knife blade is the sgraffito method which I used in an oil pastel painting.
