Personal Observations and Commentary on Art, Life, Culture from Mitchell Ray Aiken
Tuesday, May 3, 2016
I've started taping brushes together in various sizes. It allows me to quickly switch brushes, plus the added length gives me some room to step back from the canvas, increasing my reach. I spoke with Rosemary Brushes about manufacturing such a brush. They call a double-ended brush a "kayak", but have a very limited capacity to make them, mostly in the small sizes. The bulk purchase of brush stock, especially the handles, makes it difficult to create a new style of brush. They purchase handles in bundles, like a thousand units. So, I'll keep using tape.
So...I've neglected this site and have not posted much. That will have to change. Just been too busy. My posts on Facebook and Instagram have been regular, but just can't seem to find the time to post here. I've been busy working on a series of paintings for my final thesis exhibition in the Spring of 2017. (Below)
