September 1, 2006, Newsletter Issue #96: Double Loading a flat brush

Tip of the Week

Double loading a flat brush is a method we use to get two colours down at once. Consider the shape to the brush as a window. Dip one corner in one colour and the other in another. You have put curtains on the window. now these two colours need to be blended together by pressing down on the bristles and sweeping back and forth in a small strip of about 1-2 inches. the colours need to blend in the middle. Be sure to add more colour to the brush when needed, but always blend them before using them.
