My tiny brushes- before and after<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I get asked pretty often how I paint such small details.\u00a0 I always tell people that I use small paintbrushes and work on one square inch area at a time, but I don’t think that really quite explains it.\u00a0 Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words so I thought I should take a before and after of my brushes.\u00a0 Now, these are actually in better condition than most since I’ve been working on small paintings lately.\u00a0 Usually I use these on some larger canvases and those bad boys destroy the bristles.\u00a0 Regardless, you get the idea.\u00a0 The new brush is on the right- crisp, pristine and miniscule compared to a dime.\u00a0 The group on the left are my “afters” with the bristles splayed out in different directions or completely curved which does not work very well for fine details.\u00a0 I go through roughly a brush a day, sometimes I can eek out two days, depending on the painting.\u00a0 Now just imagine taking that to a 30 inch tall painting: http:\/\/www.amyguidry.com\/wild_west.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n
