I still consider myself to be a newcomer to the art of painting, so I thought I would start a thread about the little things.
First, palette knives are called knives for a reason. Yesterday I decided to check the edge of my favorite palette knife for knicks by running my thumb along the edge. I now have a half inch long cut (like a paper cut), deep, on the tip of my thumb. Lots of blood and three bandages later I have learned a valuable lesson. Knives are sharp!
Please add to this if you have any other insignificant trivia that may save a life!
