Painting with a Big Brush

We were at a yard sale, and we saw these 6″ paint brushes for 50c. So we bought two, and brought them home to paint. Good thing we have a supply of old pie-pans on hand for things like potato stamping, because these paint brushes certainly wouldn’t fit into our smaller paint containers!

Rebecca had fun painting large monochromatic works, but the brushes were too big for Penelope, and I ended up trading hers for a 1.5″ flat brush we had.

It would have been fun to use these to paint on an enormous piece of butcher paper on the fence, or maybe pair it with painting with tiny brushes on tiny paper!

Yes, although my husband was worried the paint brushes may have been previously used for something toxic, like I need help worrying!  So buying new ones might not be a horrible idea either.  I did wash them…  If you’ve ever painted your house you may have some in your garage already!
