I will be the first to admit that when I originally got this Sword Liner brush I was disappointed with it
it felt as though I had completely lost control - instead of firm control on the brush it was 'floppy' compared to my other brushes
then recently I picked it up again. I was painting some trees, loose style and found this brush amazing....it worked beautifully and stopped me being too precise with a subject that needed to be spontaneous.
Here are some quick sketches to show you....
and really good for grasses...
So pleased I didn't give up on this brush.

It is Vicki, it gets my vote :)
The grass is brilliant. I'm glad you persisted too!
So glad it worked out and you are able to use it and like it!
I like the look of that brush, looks like lots of fun! Glad you didn't give up on it!
What an interesting little brush. Fun to try new things. Sometimes we just have to learn what the tool does before writing it off. Glad you figured it out. I can see lots of sea grass being painted. :)
How lovely! Always fun to discover a new toy! :D
That's exactly what I use mine for! They are pretty good for that :) x
Thanks Em, Christine, Sharon, Cris and Robin....it's one of those brushes that doesn't get used on a daily basis but I'm so pleased I have it in my stash :)
You have got some great results. I have one of those brushes, too - must give it another try! Valerie
Never seen a brush like that before, but that point looks fabulous! The results are great!
Thanks Pat, Valerie and Judy :)
I'm glad you stuck with it - works really well with this application!

I'm glad you didn't give up on it. Looks lik you two are gonna make some fabulous art. :)
Thanks Pat, Pia and NatashaMay ...so glad I did this post.
Ann, I have never heard of that brush but I see that it is very useful for making grasses and twigs and such. I like your illustration. The brush adds such fluidity.
Yes Faye, it's proved to be very useful :)
I'm glad that you did not give up on that weird looking brush too - you do paint grass very well!
