Brushes or Palette Knives

As an artist who works with brushes and palette knives, people always ask me which of the two I prefer. For centuries, brushes have been the typical tool employed by painters to drive colors across the terrain of varied painting supports like wood panels and canvases. Even the early cave artists who painted to inspire animal hunting and the consequential need for survival created tools similar to brushes. They rendered animals on cave walls with these early brushes. Legendary artists like Leonardo and Picasso also relied a lot on brushes.
