Scruffy brushes are often called for in painting teddies and foliage. You can make your own! Place a pile of Snow-Tex on your palette. Pounce any flat brush into the Snow-Tex, working it well into the ferrule (until it flares out the amount you want). After the brush is thoroughly dry, wash out about half of the Snow-Tex. The rest will work itself out as you use the brush. Now even beginners can own those treasured "scruffy" brushes.
