I use a brayer - usually a 2" one - to apply paint when my collage is getting too busy and I need a bold, fresh start. It not only covers an area quickly, but it emphasizes the texture of the collage, thereby not "wasting" any of the material underneath. I also use it to lift the paint, so that I can build layers gradually. Here is a video demonstration:

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that using Golden's Open acrylic would work well for this technique. It stays workable longer so one can remove excess paint before it dries.
ReplyDeleteI have never used a brayer before, what would you say is the difference with a brush? I mean does it look different on paper, the structure, texture?
ReplyDeleteFun little video and I love the fact that you don´t "pussyfoot" around with your brayer!!
