Brushes

Description

Artist Julie Bennett demonstrates the potential of using different sizes and types of brush, including round and square-headed artist’s brushes and even household brushes, to create a variety of lines and marks. She shows how she has used household brushes on one of her large-scale portraits.

Classroom Ideas

Encourage the class to consider how the tools they use have an impact on the work they produce. Students could experiment with different brushes, building their awareness of how their choices relate to factors such as precision and texture.
