I got this nifty new brush. Unfortunately, it's a cheapie from Artist's Loft, under $3.00. I did this one painting below (card sized) and already the bristles are starting to splay.
It is just labeled as a filbert, worse luck, because I'd like to find a better version, possibly in a larger size. I like the effects you can get with it while painting foliage and grass. (Edited to note that I've learned these are called 'Wisp' brushes. They come in both Filberts and Fan style)
This was a very quick painting, mostly an excuse to try out the brush, plus I needed a birthday card.

Very cool! sorry the brush isn't holding up, but now you know you like that style brush :D
ReplyDeleteExactly! I'll just keep my eye open for a similar one from a better brand.
DeleteI've tried that brand and the same thing happened, I got mine at Michaels, I put the one brush I used back in the pack and returned it to the store,it may be cheap, but not cheap enough to keep . I hate to paint and end up with parts of the brush mixed in my painting. that is one cool brush, maybe by a good quality brush and shape it this way yourself, in case you can't find it
ReplyDeleteNormally, I wouldn't buy Artists Loft, because I know they aren't very good. I don't regret this purchase, but I'll definitely keep looking for one that's made better!
DeleteI do love your watercolor paintings. Shame about the brush, it looks neat.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm hoping I can find a better brand.
DeleteI some of those brushes can't remember th brand there good for fur and lines.
ReplyDeleteThank you! A wisp brush. That's exactly what I needed to know!
