David Cheifetz inspires us all in this painting instructional video by showing us how he uses a palette knife to make his paintings “glow”
David is an internationally acclaimed and collected artist who continues to push the limits of contemporary realist oil painting.
“Reflecting the language of dreams, these dark, hyperrealistic tableaux suggest bizarre and intriguing narratives. Cheifetz paints alla prima, an oil painting technique in which wet paint is applied to previous layers of wet paint. He works without detailed underpainting or studies, creating atmosphere through prominent, expressive brushstrokes and strong chiaroscuro.”

I’ve never purchased a video whee the entire painting was completed with a palette knife. The filming was excellent as you can see perfectly what strokes he’s making while he explains things throughout the entire demonstration. I’ve always wondered how artists get their paintings to glow, and now I know too.
From the beginning when he describes his tools of the trade to the very end when he signs his signature he makes the viewer understand all the strokes he places on the canvas. I’d buy another video from him without doubt. Thank you, Bella Muse!
