Bamboo strokes

Just playing with the hake brush that came by mail today. What better way to test it than in a Sumi-e style painting.

The goat hairs react differently than the brushes I’m used to but it gets some cool effects and packs a lot of color. I think I like it. Now I have to see how it can integrate in my workflow.

    Awesome work – as soon as I saw it, I saw where – in my home – I’d like to put it. Amazing work – esp for a first-time user of the brush. I’m going to enjoy exploring the rest of your site.
