Tuesday Tutorial: How to Use a Script Liner

There are several types of paintbrushes you can use while painting. There are so many that there maybe several brushes you have never even seen. Are you familiar with scrollers or script liners? Scrollers are liner brushes with longer hair. Liner, scroller, or script brushes are fine, round, pointed brushes used for detail work. Liners have shorter hairs than scroller or script brushes. All of these come in several sizes. Below is a slideshow showing you how to use a script liner, and some project you can create using this tool.

1. As you move the brush, keep it on the tip, exerting hardly any pressure.

2. Pull the brush keeping it perpendicular. The brush will follow and paint a fine line.

3. You can use your little finger to balance your hand so that the brush moves along smoothly.

4. Use this brush with thin “inky” paint so that it flows evenly.

Here are some projects you can create using a script liner.

   Scrollers estas Liner penikojn kun longa haro. Liner, scroller, aŭ skribsistemo penikoj estas fajnaj, ronda, pintaj penikoj uzataj por detalo laboro. Linioj havas pli mallongajn harojn ol scroller aŭ skribsistemo penikoj. Ĉiuj tiuj venas en pluraj grandecoj. Sube estas lumbildaron montrante vin kiel uzi script Liner, kaj iuj projekto vi povas krei per tiu ilo.
   Mi certas deziri Plaid vendis la skripto linioj individue. Estas LA BEST Liner peniko mi iam uzis kaj mi uzis ĉiuj en la merkato. Konsideri ĉi bonvolu…

   To add to the previous comment I made. I have been using the same set of Plaid paint brushes for 6 yrs. I signed up for the Donna Dewberry class and those were in our package. I use them everyday at work and even tho I dont use much of the knowledge I got from the class but I do paint all day 3-5 days a week. I use the brush cleaner by Plaid and clean them every day, several times a day actually. Then I use the brush cleaner to re=shape my brushes at the end of the day. THAT is a good product! I never leave my liner brushes in a glass of water to just sit and I don’t let anyone else use them. Every other liner brush I have bought separates after a month or so… and when it does that, it goes in the trash. Every working person and hobbyist is only as good as their tools allow them to be.

   I sure wish Plaid sold the script liners individually. It’s THE BEST liner brush I have ever used and I have used everyone on the market. Consider this please.
