Boots is probably my most popular (amongst family and friends) painting to date. I'm very pleased with this one, as it's the first time I managed to make oils do exactly what I wanted.
I set out to try doing a brushless painting. I used two palette knives, a long skinny one and a shorter, broader one. The background was made by putting the paint directly on the canvas and using the knives to blend the colors together. The boots were painted by using the shorter knife like a brush, mixing colors on the palette and applying the paint in forms.
It worked fairly well, I think.
