You know, quite often, an old imperfect brush is the PERFECT brush when you're painting landscapes. Personally, I think they're the best brushes for blocking in grasses and foliage. They can give the impression of detail, helping you avoid using small detail brushes till later.

If you've followed me on Instagram, you know I love my old soldiers!

In case you don't have any old beat-up brushes just lying around, in today's video I show you how you can make your own.😉

If you've got any questions, just drop them below the video. As always, I appreciate you liking and sharing so more people have a chance to watch.
