"The Funny Brush" only available from Carol's Art Not as "Silly" as it looks.
When we're first introduced to the Funny brush, its "quirky" appearance is difficult to take seriously. When I first used this product 3 years ago I was so impressed at the wonderful spontaneous and effective marks they made, in any medium.. Like many Professionals, I've tried many brushes, but nothing quite like these. Due the springy rubber bristles no two brush marks are the same, and unlike other stippling brushes the rubbers spring & bounce into a different position with every
dab, flick, or bounce!..The Brushes have been a huge success for Steve at his Lesnick Art Products in Nevada USA where the Funny Brushes have been around for about 30 years.
Beginners, Amateurs and Professionals have found these brushes an indispensable finishing tool. They have become an essential piece of a Painters kit, valued as much as a sharp pencil or good quality paintbrush.
As an experienced tutor, I know the problem areas in learning to paint; the foreground & Tree Foliage are often big problem areas. Say goodbye to hours of careful painting spoilt by over-doing the foliage or grasses, and put the FUN back into painting with the Funny Brushes;
The rubber bristles will spring onto action making spontaneous marks for grasses, flowers etc.
. No overloading the brush, No repeat brush marks,
Just simple, easy, and of course FUN painting
APPLICATION

Dab, flick swirl or splodge. Explore the endless possibilities within the brush range. Water, trees, flowers, bushes, stones, branches, grasses, rough footpaths.. its endless and easy.

With water-based paint simply rinse the brush in clean water and dab dry. A little mild soap may help with Acrylic. Solvents SHOULD NOT be used when cleaning up oils. Wipe clean or thin the paint with a little baby oil then wash with mild soap and water.
