this was so interesting. I have made my own brushes & had some surprising results too. I liked what you said about not judging the marks a brush will make before they are made.
Fabulous mark making, thanks for sharing! All of them lined up in the beginning looks so pretty too! Inspired to explore the woods, and make a multi brush tool 🤩
I create abstracts & I love all these marks. I'm definitely going on a hike & look for materials to make my own mark makers. Thank you for inspiring me!
Loved this video! I have a nice collection of dry grasses, seed pods, feathers… You really inspired me to start making brushes. I love the idea of the rope & thought maybe splaying the ends a bit might make it really interesting. Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome to hear - I love how good ideas propagate from one artist to another… not sure if I mentioned it in the video but Lorna Crane has beautiful handmade brush ideas too! Enjoy. ☺️
Such a terrific video!! I am just wanting to make some brushes & you were so very helpful in showing the marks they make!! I like the drilling into the branch so it will not be something permanent in case it falls apart & we don’t know that until we use it. You got a great many different marks! 😊
Thank you, Beth, for that feedback. Yes, I sell my handmade brushes. Which style / material were you interested? individual brushes are between $15 - $35. Postage to the US is about $20-$25. I’d be happy to do you a ‘kit’ of brushes that would bring the overall cost down. Please email me to talk further - michelle@michellewalker.com.au. ☺️
Thanks for that feedback, Valerie and yes, in some case the materials are too delicate to wash and use repeatedly over the long term but I do get many goes with them before needing to replace. The idea of wedging the material into the handle or using PVA that can be loosened with heat makes that possible.
@@veronicafortune5851 hi Veronica - funny you should ask, I’m in the process of making sets for sale. If you’re interested, connect with me on instagram @michellewalkerart. (It will be a few weeks) 🤗🌿

Personally, I feel the feather gives the most beautifully nuanced line quality. Thanks. Fun.
Yes, agree.

Interesting video, good ideas.

I enjoyed this.
Thank you Nikki
What a wonderful tutorial. Do you sell any of your brushes? I live in the United States

Very interesting!
thank you Sherry :-)
Love the marks you were able to produce! Are a lot of these a single use? I don’t imagine that some of them can be rinsed or washed of the paint.

Hi Michelle - new subscriber here. I'd like to buy your book. What is the cost to mail it to Canada?
Hi there, thank you. Are you interested in getting a copy of my ‘20,000 Brushstrokes’ book?
Do u sell a set of them?
