Painting on PAINT Brushes?! - Summary

Summary

The speaker begins by acknowledging the unusual request from their audience to paint on paint brushes, a concept they had seen suggested multiple times. Initially, they were unsure about the idea, picturing themselves painting on small brushes. However, they decided to give it a try, using larger brushes that are typically used for painting walls and furniture.

The speaker first applies gesso to the brush, a process they had never done before. They then decide to paint the entire brush, including the bristles, with a thick layer of puffy paint. After waiting for 24 hours for the paint to dry, they decide to apply another thick coat to make the paint more exaggerated and to hide the bristle texture. This process takes another 18 hours to complete.

Once the brush is ready, the speaker begins the decoration process. They paint the handle with a brown color, trying to achieve a look similar to a fancy paintbrush with a stained handle. They then paint the bristles with a bristle color, making the paintbrush look like a paintbrush. The speaker admits that this process got a little messy and they had to use gesso to neaten up the edges.

Next, the speaker pours out a rainbow of colors from their palette and paints the bristles, making tiny adjustments to each color. They also paint the other side of the brush, although it's primarily for decoration and won't be visible when the brush is hung on the wall.

The speaker then switches to metallic paints, which they mix with white to lighten each color. They apply these metallic paints to the bristles, making them lighter to differentiate them from the rainbow paint. After applying multiple layers, the speaker adds a coat of glossy glaze to everything except the bristles, which they cover with matte mod podge.

Finally, the speaker adds a bold cartoony wood grain to the paintbrush handle, giving it some detail. They also apply a coat of glossy glaze to the handle, making the paint and the handle pop out. The speaker concludes by applying a coat of gloss varnish to protect the paint.

The speaker ends by saying that they hope the painted paintbrushes will make a nice addition to their art room, and they look forward to the audience's feedback.
