More than a spoon

As part of our Pro Tool series, we’re looking for that must-have device in your line of work, be it a pair of scissors, notebook, or deck of cards.
The next item in our series? A spoon.
Professional: Jeffrey Keith, abstract painter.
Pro Tool: Metal soup spoon.
Why it’s a Pro Tool: “I was told early on that one of the tools a painter always needed was a spoon… The handle end is really just perfect for opening paint cans. The spoon part is great for rubbing things down, like if you’re making a block print or wood print.”
