Daler-Rowney Simply palette knife sets, plastic or metal

Mix colours on your palette and apply thick acrylic or oil paint with Daler-Rowney Simply palette knives. The different shapes let you explore broad strokes, narrow lines and raised paint texture.

Which set do you receive?

• Plastic, 5 pieces: five white plastic palette knives in assorted shapes and sizes.
• Metal, 4 pieces: four palette knives with flexible metal blades and wooden handles, in assorted shapes and sizes.

You receive one selected set. Paint, a palette and painting surfaces are sold separately.

Choosing and painting

Choose the plastic set to try five shapes for mixing and texture. Choose the metal set to work with a flexible blade and wooden handle. Use a broad blade for larger colour mixes and areas; a narrow tip helps with small accents. Gather and fold paint together on the palette to mix it. Spread paint with the flat side or use the edge for lines and impasto, where the paint stands above the surface.

Use and care

Try paint load, angle and light pressure on a scrap first. Thick paint creates pronounced texture; thin paint gives a different effect. Remove residue promptly and clean according to the paint used. Water and mild soap suit water-soluble residue; for oils, follow the instructions for a suitable cleaner. Clean around the metal blade connection too and dry the knives before storage.
