DOs - SquareMess Brushes (brushes 6-8 of 8)

[HwyStar]

All 8 brushes work really well DO! I like the way you engineered the "cube" of the head/grain of the brush into a rounded corner's square. It gives nice random brush strokes that really seems to be random like real brushes.

The two blenders work really nicely too. The blenders give you the ability to blend with the same style as the brush, but you pull colors back and forth between two adjacent colors. I see more creativity in this style of blending; more so than the first option of the pallet knife, which I find annoying when it leaves an "artifact line" in the paint.

I can see incorporating these brushes into my paintings! Nice job Mate! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback! Hope you find em useful.

I do see myself using them. They give a different look and feel than the SC2 brush does, and the blenders are a cool feature. Thanks again!

Square Messy brushes are in here this time. Nice job DO!

[DarkOwnt]

Ha thanks... but... where did you use them in the piece?

[HwyStar]

The brushes were used throughout the painting actually. The easiest ones to see are the green strokes in the bottom left. Plus the pink and green row of flowers below the barn. The trees next to the barn, sky, etc. They are all there just blended nicely with the other strokes, which is what I wanted. It is easier to see them in an incompressed image. Thanks again!

Ah. You are very welcome. I see now what you mean the strokes soften things and add a bit of mess. A good use for them.

I'm pondering a few additions. A rectangular brush head, a version which is less "blendy" and provides better cover, and finally a version with discontinuous and really patchy strokes.
