i personally own a few of these "BendyBrush" and i also found out the wonderful usage of it to fill recesses but never used it on folds.

Otherwise, these brushes are normally relegated to mere "Bendymixer" or "BendyPVAApplier".

I discovered it a few years ago since then my bendybrush is the holy cow in my brushset.
You showed this technique here very well and it is good to understand for beginners and that should be the demand of a good articel. Great work!!

I always love those articles that explain how you can reuse stuff that otherwise is put into the rubbish bin .

Good job Panza!

I had figured out the painting in the crevas part, and I use the shape to make steady curls, but it never occurred to me to paint with the "back" of the bend. Thanks for a wonderful suggestion I can't wait to try out.

I've got a red sable I've been looking at wishing I didn't forget about it when my girlfriend called that time. Basicly just keeping it because I might be able to use it in terrain or something and I'm too lazy to throw it out. Weird how you can create a bendy brush and look at it everyday and never SEE the BendyBrush. Excellent stuff!

Simple, effective. Good idea for a beginner like me.

This seems to happen to ALL my brushes. Rather quickly. Maybe it's a result of not taking care of them well enough.

I used to think that it meant that the brush was dead, but after learning to use it, I prefer a BendyBrush (tm) almost all the time. (Except for pinpoint details).

It's a very versatile tip! Like a chisel tip marker.

Almost all of my brushes are bendybrushes. They all end up that way. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to prevent it. I didn't even know it was possible to prevent it. Like M. Heisler, I actually prefer it for most things.

I consider it part of the life cycle of a brush. First it's normal, then it's a bendy brush, then it becomes a drybrushing dusterbrush.

Hail the bendy brush. I've been using those techniques for years, but never thought to coin a term for it. Thanks for this amusing article. Nice pics illustrating technique BTW.

Great article. Years ago when I learned to paint I realised that my best brush was a "bendybrush". Odly enough but it was with that one I could do my thinest lines.
