Painting Knives – Bob Ross

bob-ross-painting-palette-knives

This palette knife is of the products artists need to start painting in the same style as Joy of Painting host Bob Ross. This range of Bob Ross artists’ materials has been exclusively designed to create beautiful oil paintings using the successful wet-on-wet techniques made popular by the late leading TV artist Bob Ross.

Bob Ross Painting Knives have straight-edged blades and are larger and firmer than traditional painting knives. This makes loading the knife with paint a simple process. The large knife is essential for creating the big, strong Bob Ross mountains. The smaller knife is excellent for areas that are difficult to paint with the larger size knife.

Product features:

  • Large palette knife.
  • Straight edged steel blade.
  • Ergonomically curved handle.
  • Smooth white handle.
  • Available in #5 and #10 blade sizes.
  • Each knife measures approx. 20cm overall.
  • Blade dimensions: 9.5cm (length) x 2.5cm (#5) / 3.2cm (#10).
