RE: Finally Nailed the Perspective!
That’s the spirit! No time like the present. You know what I’ve learned about brushes? The fewer the better. A medium filbert can do most things. A larger brush to cover big areas, and a small one for details. I find this forces me to accept idiosyncrasies in the lines and colors that add interest. Too focused and it may as well be a photo. I like people to know it’s a painting, even if they have to look closely.
I usually only favor a handful of brushes. I give them all a try from time to time though. I definitely see what your saying. Those hyper realism paintings are cool, but I favor letting the imagination fill in the blanks. Too stressful anyhow to make it perfect.
