Tip of the Week

The loading of the liner brush is the most important bit in your line work. The paint for fine lines must be thin like ink, and for nice commas can be thicker at the tip. When loading the liner, be aware that you load it by holding the brush low to the pallette surface and pulling the full length of the hairs through the thinned paint. As you leave your pallette be sure the brush hairs have formed a point. If you want a nice rounded end for the beginning of a comma stroke, tip the brush into a little thicker paint.
