"Red Oak"


For several months I've been painting with a palette knife but today I used a large round bristle brush. I have a coffee can container of brand new round brushes which I've never used. They've been sitting in my studio for at least 15 years. I liked how I could load up this brush with a ton of paint, make broad strokes, and also had the flexibility to make very delicate small marks.

I think your new favorite brush is working fantastically! I love in this one the textural and color contrasts between the tree and the background.
