Probably because I use flats or brights. If I used rounds or filbert they probably would bend.Brad Tearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311014022243382658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200138797648475238.post-33789871749072900662015-12-21T06:03:31.850-07:002015-12-21T06:03:31.850-07:00I have been really enjoying your YouTube videos an...I have been really enjoying your YouTube videos and I love your work. In one of your videos you mentioned storing your brushes in mineral oil. That sounded interesting but wondered about the mineral oil getting into the oil paint and having an adverse effect. The other thing I wondered about it getting the brush hairs bent when the wait of the brush is on the bristles. I look forward to your replay and more videos.

When I was younger I felt I wanted to render everything, going from one subject to another. I felt my interest are getting a bit narrower and that will help me focus on motifs. We'll see how it goes!Brad Tearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311014022243382658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200138797648475238.post-67247997567073788262015-11-28T13:44:30.723-07:002015-11-28T13:44:30.723-07:00I hear you about rejecting the speed of painting. ...I hear you about rejecting the speed of painting. I'm working on this myself. I still like doing the daily paintings that are done in an hour or two. They are fun and I will continue to do them.<br /><br />But, I find I do much better work when I slow down and take days to finish a painting, painting in layers and stopping to really look at the work so far and see if each part of it is really working.<br /><br />I guess this also means that I really need to be careful about picking a subject to paint. It's frustrating to get two days in and find out that I've lost interest in the subject.Dave Caseyhttp://www.thedailypainter.comnoreply@blogger.com
