I also stumbled across a facebook post telling me this is the same brush Loredana Zega is using for her stunning work on walls. Obviously, the brush can do it... now, what can I create with this?!

New Brush!
I just bought a new brush – the Liquitex Freestyle – a full six inches wide and looking like it just might be able to create a calligraphic stroke! I am excited to try it...

ReplyDeleteI bought the same one after I saw Loredana's work. A lady in an art-suplies shop told me she uses these brushes. I just couldn't resist.

ReplyDeleteCorrected, Loredana, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Alice,
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post. I have actually tried out this brush (1" and 2" versions) and with the exception of the long handle that I had to cut off and the fact that it does not have a round handle it worked great.
I used it for this project:

Thanks for your tip about the pilot parallel calligraphy pens, they work great. http://www.flickr.com/photos/steveczajka/
