Review on ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ Liquitex Professional Freestyle Large Scale Brush, 4-inch Paddle - White by Nataly Collins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I was looking for!

I really enjoy using these brushes for abstract freehand acrylic painting. I've been looking for brushes with wide, thin bristles for a long time. Cheap shed VERY BAD! The good quality wide brushes I've found have thick, deep bristles that pick up a large amount of paint. I needed a wide brush to move or spread the paint across the canvas, thicker brushes of this size are more like a smudge brush. Perhaps the action I found with this brush can also be described as a scraper. (This is when you apply heavy pressure with a lot of paint.) Turn the brush sideways and it creates nice thin lines that are perfect for very large canvases. I also like the feel of this brush in my hand. Without a regular pen, you can maneuver the brush in a variety of ways to create new effects. I recommend this brush to any artist who likes to experiment with different tools. The only complaint I have is the price. It's a selfish complaint, I wish I had a dozen of these brushes but I can't afford it at the moment. Although you get what you pay for here. Liquitex is a great product.

Pros
  • Ideal for painting wide marks and edges
Cons
  • Negative impression
