Our tooth spalter has "teeth" cut out of a traditional spalter.   These spaces allow for the brush to be used for different applications.  This model mimics our traditional spalter shape and standard length.  This brush is typically used to manipulate painting mediums such as glaze and paint by displacing medium.  It can also be dipped into medium to create a print.  The tooth spalter creates clear, strie lines with a series of parallel lines.

• Uses:  Strie,  general glazing, dry-brushing, straight graining (side grains) in woodgraining, use with thick paint or textures.  
• Teeth are machine cut but meant to be randomly spaced.  Generally, the teeth gaps are 3-4mm (.15")  wide. 
• Smaller sizes are great for window and door casing. Larger sizes for entire walls. 
• hand-picked for a superior tip  
• Brush tips are manufactured to flower to hold more paint which will allow the brush to cut sharp edges.

Pierre will breakdown graining into its simplest form by focusing on the basic structure of the heartgrain as well as straightgraining.  

 He will demonstrate how to correctly hold different brushes to create a variety of wood patterns, composition and flow, and wood layout.  You will learn how to design and compose most of the heart wood graining in a realistic manner on this drawing based instruction.  Pierre will simplify teaching the structure of the grain by minimizing color with these medium to small scale drawings to understand graining pattern fundamentals. 

Pierre will also review some technical skills to do burls, moire based woods (such as birds eye, satin wood, etc).  He will also review different species of wood and wood formation based on milling cuts.

The deerhoof and the Rondin are the ultimate striping brushes- no taping needed! A deerhoof is designed for striping color or size, much like the rondin brush. The deerhoof shape offers a distinct slant, which allows for optimum surface contact. The deerhoof is best for applying size or color to flat or curved surfaces. In order to make this brush so dense, its ferrule is constructed by hand, with quill and wire. By pinching the brush at the heal, long and exact stripes can be achieved.
