Absolutely wonderful Patience & control. How on earth do you get that constant fluidity { viscosity } the paint just leaves the tip of the brush in a constant smooth flow...Are the bristles treated with something afore hand to cause the paint to run off them ? or, are there a couple of drops of additive in the paint for it to slide off the bristles...But again just marvellous and amazing for you to demonstrate your skills for us newbies to study...Thankyou.
No Eric, the brushes aren't pre treated with anything...they're made from pure red sable which has a natural taper and a superior spring to it. These brushes (kinda like guitar strings) can take many, many hours of working in before they can even be considered to be useful...but the end justifies the means. You also need to have the viscocity of the paint pretty much perfect and different sized brushes and different colours & makes of paint will each require a totally different approach for usage.
@@titanic-town-sign-school Thanyou for courtesy of a reply John, I asked because I know a Guy from USA, who uses a touch of Vitamin E oil on his brushes for pin striping, which is a natural additive for bristle health; and his fine scrollers seemed to last forever. Thanks again.
@@ericashmusic8889 Signwriters have traditionally treated their natural haired lettering brushes with neatsfoot oil, which is derived from boiled cow hooves, but this is for storage purposes ie. it can help maintain the required shape along with preventing paint build-up in the heel. To be honest, it's not something that I have bothered much with in the last 42 years, and If I have ever needed to re shape a brush, I would use hot vaseline...I have also heard of some of the real old timers who would only use Gin.
Cheers for the headsup. I've checked and and it's definitely panned centrally in the editing software...must be something happening during the rendering. I'll look into it.
O love it

Fix your audio in your videos, the commentary is panned hard left it's unbearable

@@titanic-town-sign-school That's strange. I'd suggest setting the commentary to mono in the editing software, that should fix it for you
Hopefully something really simple that just needs tweaking. Thanks again @@greenman717
I just tried that and it seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks @@greenman717
