Hi Francesca, thank you. What brush are you using in this video? Thank you!

You're welcome! This is a Bob Ross Brush. Any bristle brush will work :)

Hello
Loved the blending! Can this be done with acrylic paint?

She is using acrylic paint in this example

[@francesca_bessett]

Hello! Thank you! I used acrylic paint in this, but the same principles can be applied to other mediums such as oil. Check out my other recent videos for more learning and inspiration 💘

If you hold your brush upside down, allowing the water to drip down, it will go into the ferrule which will dissolve any glue causing the bristles to fall out and down to the handle causing it to rot if its wood. Not something I'd do to my brushes.

[@francesca_bessett]

Using hot water or not drying your brushes after is what will cause issues with the glue in the ferrule. I appreciate the feedback, but I still use this same exact brush from 10 years ago :) Glad to hear you care about your brushes, Cheers! You can check out my other work at www.francybessettart.com 🎨
