Of the hundreds of brushes he's designed for his own purposes, these are the the very best. They represent 3 years of trial and error and fine-tuning. Justin designed these brushes by sampling hundreds of scans of actual brush strokes, paint splatters, pencil marks and paper textures, all made with various professional tools (and some spilled coffee). They have been used in all of his client and professional work to give his paintings a more natural and classical look.

To solve this problem, he designed these brushes over the course of 3 years. The marks don’t blend well because they are too flat, too plastic, and lack character and texture. The problem is that most digital brushes look too “digital,” and don’t look natural when applied over a scan of a traditional painting. Hope you have fun and push this arsenal to its limits!
