I am not an enthusiastic endorser of products, but once in awhile you find something that really works well, and you just gotta' talk about it. As some of you know from answering all of my stupid questions lately, I am trying to learn to freehand pinstripe. Lately I have been working hard on curves, and I practice by drawing circles and figure 8's with the pinstripe brush. I have been practicing with a Grumbacher brush, and I wasn't happy with the results I was getting. Today I tried an Xcaliber brush, which I believe was designed by Mr J. The results were fantastic. The curves are tighter and more even than I have ever been able to produce before. Someone on the BB (sorry, I forgot who!) advised me weeks ago to try one of these brushes, and I am now sorry that I didn't take his advice sooner. As I said, I'm not one much for endorsing products, but I feel like if you are going to take the time to complain about the bad ones, (and I DO complain!), you should also take the time to remark on the good ones.

That's what I've been doing wrong...I got the wrong brush!!!!! But I thought you could use a "Tester's" hobby brush for anything!!!!!
Seriously though I really want to try an Xcaliber soon. One thing I will never get rid of is my paint stuff.
