Wonderful presentation again Luis. Thankyou!! I have also made some brushes. I used horse hair and dog hair and feathers!!

I love you clarity ❤

Muchas gracias por tus videos Luis. Usted hace un gran trabajo, nos acerca al conocimiento profundo de la pintura que la educación moderna ha olvidado.

Buenos días Luis. Ha utilizado la cúrcuma como pigmento? He visto que se usa sobre todo diluido en agua, pero no sé qué tal funcione para el óleo. Lo voy a probar, pero tengo curiosidad si usted ya lo ha utilizado y qué le pareció. Gracias.

Thanks Luis for this awesome demonstration! I don't buy brushes from the art store anymore and in my experience, in the long term, I actually think it is cheaper to make your own brushes. As you mentioned, the great advantage is that you can customise the brush to whatever stroke or goal you have in mind. However, the exception would be if you want to make a sable brush or a watercolour mop brush, but you can get a very similar stroke by inserting wild hog hair that is brown in colour, into the feather ferrule. Furthermore, if you boil stiff hog hair for 30 minutes it will become softer and more 'springy' emulating the mop brush a little bit...you can also select hairs that turn inwards and arrange them to emulate the mop brush configuration, this takes time and it is probably easier just to by the mop brush from Zecchi.

Thank you for sharing all your insights Damian. Our class together was very important for the development of this live presentation. Best wishes! 🙏🙏

Thank you to post this amazing video

Thank you

En verdad que los pinceles hechos a mano son más caros. Gracias por la información tan buena que ha detallado, algunos profesores de pintura sostienen que no existen diferencias entre pinceles redondos o cuadrados, pero con usted incluso aprendí qué diferencias hay en los trazos con pinceles comerciales y los hechos a mano. Pero bueno, uno se puede dar el gusto de comprarlos de vez en cuando. Muy buen video!

Saludos y bendiciones

I wanted to try a natural hair brush for so long.

I fully understand your inquiries into these brushes and enjoyed watching, but would just want to say that I have several times witnessed great artists using the cheapest wide, flat brushes you can buy from a thrift shop, commonly coming in a pack of three for about $5 to paint stunning detailed portraits. With most hobbies and interests, you spend the first half of your time acquiring more and more equipment, and the rest of your time following paring your collection down to a few essentials that you really understand and use all the time. I think most artists have scores and scores of brushes, but only ever use a few of them regularly. This may be an inevitable process, but I'm sure it holds true. Thank you for your videos.

I agree with your assessment that handmade expensive brushes are not necessary to make masterful paintings. My channel does seek to answer questions about historical materials an procedures that shaped the art of painting. Thank you for commenting!

Paint being a largely stiff, intractable medium, the end of a piece of rope can work wonders in the right hand. I’m big on subtle texture manipulation and find some startling similarities to rendering/ plastering/brickwork. Get the mortar right and a brick will lay itself. Knowing your material and knowing what you want from it and the means to get there can be bog ordinary and cheap as chips. I have mega bucks sable and aforementioned frayed rope ends, both have the same relative worth.

Excelente , a comprar nuevos pinceles 😅

Unfortunately, Subtitles for live videos become available 12- 24 hours after the video has been published. This is a KZread issue. I am powerless in this regard. They should be available sometime in the next hours. Thank you for your inquiry and interest in my videos.
