But it could probably be fine with reclaimed materials, for something far more useful than gluing bristles into a hollow handle. Anyway you'd need to consider your source of glue, if you're trying to avoid using plastics. | |
| May 29, 2023 at 7:16 | comment | added | Elmy♦ | Just for clarification: how do you expect your DIY brushes to perform? Do you want to paint realistic portraits with them? Bob Ross landscapes? Abstract art that consists only of lines, patterns and texture? And do you have access to animals like horses or goats where you could source hairs ethically without harming the animals? | |
| May 28, 2023 at 10:34 | comment | added | Elmy♦ | Brush making - especially for art - has always been the job of specialized masters. And traditionally only animal hair was used for paint brushes because plant fibers just don't work as well. IMO it's very unrealistic for a layperson to make paint brushes that actually work. The best you could probably achieve is a very stiff brush for cave paintings or a similar level of detail. | |
