A close brush can feel almost sculptural. Quermiva likes the moment when soft bristles, metal, and pressure become more interesting than the finished image.
Different brushes carry different kinds of rhythm. A long edge, a narrow tip, or a worn set of bristles can completely change the character of a simple mark.
Quermiva begins with the tool itself. Before color reaches a surface, the shape, width, and density of the bristles already decide how the mark might feel.
