Welcome to the final part of our brush series! Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored different brush types, how to use them, and even how to make the most of old, worn-out brushes. Now, we’re taking it one step further—what can you do with old art brushes? Instead of tossing them out, why not modify them to create something new?
In this final part, Stephen shares his personal techniques for transforming old brushes into custom tools. By trimming, shaping, or even combining old brushes, you can give them a fresh life. The goal is to add texture and dimension to your art in ways that standard brushes can’t.
Stephen shows you how he’s made his own art brushes at home. They can be modified according to what YOU need them to do.
So instead of throwing them out, consider giving your old brushes a lot more life!
