How to Make Your Own Painting Brush | Step-by-step

[@greekveteran2715]

Having just tried for the 1st time,a Da Vinci Maestro 35 n6 and 3 Raphaael (an 803 n4,a 8404 n4 and a 8408 n6) I have to say,that I"ll never get another kind of brush,than any of those! They took my watercolour to the next level,literally,the most underrated supplies in painting,are brushes. Id try to make my own for fun!!!

This looks fun! Great way to make use of anither oart of an animal, i plan to save some fur from my cats to make some water color brushes but ill have to use a different process since the hoar fur is much thicker

[@chrisgriffith1573]

There is an entire process of "settling" the bristles, and formatting them into alignment so they are as tight as they can be without squeezing them, I suggest you invest into a small vibration device to make a vibration plate. Its an extra step that makes your brush so much higher quality... (by tenfold) An epoxy is best for setting the bristles, just a lot less problematic. I mix the epoxy using the butt of the bristles themselves. I tie a temporary bind further up on the brush to hold it then dip and mix the epoxy, working it into the strands, then bind it to the hilt.

hello Chrisgriffith, I would love it if you do a tutorial of the way you do your brush and if you do please tell me :)

The hair is easier to work with if it's wet

[@kingsleysaxon9710]

Wouldn't it be easier to tie off the tuft before cutting it then DIP the base in melted wax?

Wells i need pinceles, brush art ...here don't selling gross und 00, ,01, 1 don't existe. Ji hace a cuestión what side You use for the point. The brush? Neat the skin or the reali end of hair of animal. Here thereis digas whit beautifull haid r ando long

[@Goldi-Luc]

the cut end is always the part you glue. brushes are settled and shaken and moved into place for their shape, with the natural tip of the hairs being the tip of the brush, and you dont cut them to shape so that theres not a cut edge for the painting tip. at least for higher quality brushes. (because the tips of the hair are finer than the base)

[@quentinrozhenko8321]

oof, tf is this? those brushes look terrible and the process equally so.

[@spiritsgyre2021]

A disaster. Please watch a Japanese brush-maker create a finely honed brush using just as natural a process. The pretense here is shameful.
