    After receiving a lot of comments regarding the black canvas I used in this video, I created a newer tutorial on a white canvas which is easier to see😉 Here’s the link : ua-cam.com/video/YFOxAnd_kfE/v-deo.htmlsi=1p87QIXBda5xqvAs

    The fan brush demonstration is just what I needed. I was ready to throw away my soft fan brush because it "spiked" and I thought it was just a bad brush. I have only been painting a year and your demonstration videos are worth their weight in gold! ⭐

      @helenai13 7 місяців тому +3

      The first, and so far the only time I used a fan brush (as the soft one on the right), the same thing happened. As soon as the bristles started splitting I thought the brush was ruined, only realising it was its nature when I washed it and dried having gone back to the same soft initial shape. Meanwhile nothing came out of what I was trying to make because I didn’t know how to handle it. Ignorance is not always bliss…😊

      @@ElizabethMathewiiind Depending on if you want toxic free options or not! the easiest is just use oil and then the brush cleaner soap bars after the oil is clean from changing or "rinsing" your dirty brushes from the oil. I have started to use Lavender oil t oclean as well as thin my oil paints and I want to try it with water soluble oil paints too! Good Luck.

    Ohhh by the graces! The demo with the soft fan was so immensely validating.
    I am extremely new to painting and i didn't realize that there was so much difference in results between soft bristles and stiff bristles. I'm 42 and for my entire life I believed that stiff bristles were a sign that a brush was old and worn out and not useful anymore!
    I've been trying to make trees with my nice, soft, smooth fan brushes and beating myself up for not getting the results i wanted.
    I'm not even through the whole video yet and I've felt such a massive weight come off my shoulders because I thought I was doing something terribly wrong.
    Well, i mean i kind of am using such a thin brush but now i know that it's more because of my tools than me. I need a stiffer brush.
    From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.

    At this point, due to Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), I think I have about 1 trillion + brushes, yet only 3 of them are fan brushes. I never really found a use for them. This tutorial is helpful, so I learned a few things here, and then tested out your tricks out on the ones I have. I am a watercolorist, and 2 of my fans are soft, and the other is mid-range, so I don't have an actual stiff brush. My soft ones seem to be best for that striped waterfall effect. The mid-range one (Jackson's Stippler fan, medium), does lines very well, too, with watercolor paint, but the lines are thicker. None of my fans do trees well, but I think they could all do grass fairly okay along with waterfalls. There are few brushes I need/want at this point, but I think a stiff fan brush has just been added to the tiny list. I imagine it would be wonderful to use if I painted with acrylics or oils. Thank you for the tips. 😊

    This is very interesting. When I used my fan brush for the first time, I thought I bought the wrong type of brush when the brush separated itself when I was doing trees and clouds. I would have never thought of wiggling the brush to make it un-separated. Thank you, Joni, for this demonstration. 😊👌
