New toy new paintings

Just fell in love with a new product from Princeton Brushes; Catalyst paint blades.  Started the following 2 paintings with this new tool.

    The blades are basically rubber palette knifes and great for roughing in an under-painting.  

This is the beginning of my next one using this method...

Here is the subject, soon to be another finished painting.  Prefer so far painting with these on the a smooth board, letting the under painting dry then when finishing with detail.

Thanks for looking
