How to Make a Stippling Brush
A stippling brush is a very thick type of brush used to create a stippling effect when painting, giving paint an aged look. Stippling brushes are often expensive and easy to damage. If special care is not taken, such as rinsing after each use, they can lose their ability to create the stippling effect. Instead of spending the extra money on a stippling brush, you can make one yourself using inexpensive materials. Does this Spark an idea?
