In the tutorial the artist (Feliks) uses a fine goat hair brush for blending. The problem is the brush is on backorder. Also it’s, cough, $45.95 for one brush!

I found some makeup brushes on Shamazon where the bristles looked pretty similar. They arrived yesterday so I gave Feliks’ clouds tutorial another try.

not blended with the nice brush
blended with the nice brush – it came out soft looking because it was on a sheet of card stock not the normal canvas sheet I normally use

RATING: 3

VERDICT: My sketches were better. My final was done on a very small canvas. Clouds need to be fluffier, work on blending within the clouds. Consider using a larger canvas.
