A New Brush

In a fit of reckless splurging last week I bought a new brush. It's another in the Liquitex Feestyle line but it's 8 in. wide. I'd been dreaming about some marks I wanted to make and  I was sure this brush could do it. What pleasure!

A New Brush

I found this wonderful brush last week; I hate the handles on brushes and this fits right into my hand, it was exciting to try it out on some sheets of Japanese paper that I had been saving. Well actually I've forgotten which project I had in mind when I bought the paper, but it was perfect for this. Now I'm thinking of cutting all my brushes down, and buying some more of this glorious paper. Laying down the ink the paper was so alive as it buckled and warped beneath each stroke.
