Description
This fan brush works as a rake – just what you need for creating striations – for stripes, fur, feathers, Santa’s beard, mummy bandages and other cross-hatching and of course cat’s whiskers. When loaded with paint the bristles will become like a rake with distinct gaps – it’s like having a dozen tiny brushes in a row so you can create many parallel lines at once – fast and neat!
This Rake Fan Brush is good for:
- parallel lines for cat’s whiskers, stripes, fabric fringe, basket-weave, cross-hatching and other striations
- feathery strokes that can be used to create fur, hair, feathers, grass, woodgrain, gauze bandage, fabric texture
- a streaky texture effect at the edges of butterfly wings
Tips for use:
- Do not overload with paint
- Some effects are achieved by using a dry rake brush across damp paint.
- Use light pressure to achieve delicate texture
- Vary how long you stay up on the tip of your chisel edge and rotate which side of the brush you put pressure on, to create turned effects
- Sweep the tip of the brush through a different colour to add colour variations
