Rosemary&Co ROTARY TREE Brush - Demo 

Don't think I would ever buy one, but it looks like easy to DIY from an old worn out round brush. Just tap a small nail in the center to push the hairs out.

I went from completely uninterested to desperately needing this brush. 😂

😱 Omigosh, I never knew there was a brush like this on the market!! I took an old size 24 round brush that had seen better days and snipped the tip off blunt, then bent down the outer hairs and cut the middle section much shorter to form this exact brush shape! It is a God send for painting dandelions in a grassy field, or the light whisps of animal fur that stick up from the edges of their coat. It's also amazing to use for adding irregular patterns of shading, such as the dappled pattern you see when sunlight filters through tree branches onto a hard surface, like the side of a building or a cement sidewalk. Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏😊 I must have missed the original video, so heading back to watch that now to see if I missed any other treasures.

I unwittingly made one with old brush used for gel medium that solidified. 😂. Clumps are splayed out and not in a neat calculated manner such as the purched one. I love using it.

Made my own funky brush and I love it. They're easy to make! And the rougher that circle is, the better if you want to make trees and foliage.

Wow. Amazing for grass and trees! (And cool tubey shapes.) I really want one now.

Makes a good bonsai!

Love the way you achieved the various marks. Looks like a great brush for making wisps of grasses too! Reminds me of the old Spirograph set I had a child, when you made the spiral tubes. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I can see it pretty useful for traditional comic artist!

Cool)) It kinda gives Sumi-e art brush strokes when loaded, and those swirly lines with the tip look fun)) This is my reminder to play with some of my splayed paint brushes. Thank you for inspiring us, Vee! xox

I know this brush would be great for dry brushing. I have been on a brush binge lately. Turn the brush on its side all the way, like literally lay the brush down and roll it across your page. Try it both semi wet loaded and also dry. Also from your video I can see it would make great ripple water effects. Also can be used for stippling of course. I wonder how it throws paint and how it would splatter too? Also if you haven't already try using it on a angle so not all the bristles touch the paper.. only half of the bristles and see what marks that makes. Also try rolling it to with this same side angle. Try loading it with multiple different colors on opposite or opposing ends of the brush to get multiple pigments. Try using it like this various ways. Pre Wet your paper with water or try over a dry or almost dry wash etc. I think this could possibly be used for hair, grass, foliage, rocks, trees and reflections. I am currently adding to my brush collection and picked up some great ones from temu, which I could not believe. This week I will be looking for another dagger sword and other special brushes. And of course picking up some more of my favorite Japanese calligraphy and sumi ink brushes. Which are the best brushes ever besides hake brushes and quill mops. Give me a nice long sturdy rigger, a quill mop brush that holds its point, a spray bottle, a hake brush or if I'm working really small a nice calligraphy brush and I can paint anything. I also love fan brushes on occasion for special effects and textures. I find them very versatile. Flat brushes I find pretty useless and not organic looking. At least for landscapes. Do you have at least one hake brush? If not please get one soon! I recommend the Ron Ranson small hake brush. Affordable and good quality. 😊 You have a nice brush collection. Please share what are your favorite and most used could not live or paint without brushes. Also what are your favorite brushes for different textures of all sorts? If you do not mind sharing of course. You could also make a video about it if you have not already. I have no art colleagues to discuss pigments, brushes or art in general so sorry about the essay's. In my own way i also paint in hiding. And thank you for bringing this brush to my attention! ❤

Ty. Liking the option with more than one colour on the brush, and then the swirl

Thanks for an excellent introduction to this brush.

Cool *swirly brush* 😊

Wow, this brush is amazing. Never seen before! Love the shaoes for grass and pastures when used on the side! Those tubey shapes are amazing! Wonderful for card making or abstract journalling. Bravo to Rosemary & Co for this unusual brush

That is so cool! Thank you for sharing this.

⁠That was what I did first. Where did you get yours please.

That's a fascinating brush. A different approach to paint and design.😊🌺

What an awesome and unique brush!

Wow, this brush is so cool!! I just ordered myself one! Thanks so much for sharing.

so relaxing , thank you Vee .

amazing video, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺

WOW 😮 🎉. I tea like the effects you can get. Sort of like a round fan brush 😂

Hullo, I found this video simply lovely! You are truly amazing and I honestly don’t know how you “hide your talents under a bush!” The trees are just wonderful and the red tubular strokes are very beautiful! I like how you created a real world application with the figure creating a “wind” with the brush strokes, very cool.

put a Ball Head Pin to an old chinese brush and you get about the same thing.

This is a gorgeous brush. I thought the hairs/bristles would all clump together as with a normal round, but this is just fascinating. Other brands on Jackson’s have this kind of brush. I’ll type their names in a reply to this comment.

Very interesting brush. I’ve never seen one like this. Thanks for the demonstration.

Excellent Video! No I hadn't seen this brush prior to this video, but I fell for it the moment I saw the first red swirl. I think it would be perfect for highlighting thick curly hair due the variations and separations resulting from the twist. Thankfully it's not Rosemary & Co.'s more expensive brushes.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

such a strange brush!! thanks for showing it : )

Clicked so fast when I saw you'd uploaded this! Thank you, beautifully relaxing video. Love the person "spinning magic!" I went back and read the description of how to use again and now I think I see what the designer means. You did some strokes rotating the brush on paper about 1 min in, that I think is what he does to create foliage. It also reminded me of eyebrows :)

wow - that's gorgeous!!

You made some cute little flowers with that brush. What if you load it with different colours 1/2 one side and 1/2 that other side? This quite and interesting brush indeed. Thank you

Good News! Rosemary has the larger brush back in stock. I just put in an order. Better News! Every time I buy something, it seems to go on sale two weeks to a month later. So it you can hold on a few weeks... you could probably get them and still not violate your 2024 No Buy!

Very interesting brush

The music is peaceful! Who composed it.

Hi, Vee! Thanks for showing us this brush. I love the tube-like shapes. The second tree is lovely, but it can be done with ordinary brushes. I absolutely love the last one. My conclusions: I thoroughly enjoyed watching you play with this brush, and the music was absolutely spot on for a relaxing, peaceful ten minutes as you did so. Again, thank you. As for the brush? The swirls would be fun, but how often would I want to do those? Probably not enough to buy it, although it's tempting, but I've been achieving trees and bushes with good round brushes and the occasional use of a stiff fan brush or a flat, for the last 28 years... and if can do it, so could anyone else. But really, we don't need all these gimmicky brushes. All we need is to play with the rounds and flats we already have, with varying wetness of paint, to discover a whole world of shapes, sizes, textures... Thanks again for doing this video! 🤗

Yeah, the first time I’ve heard of this brush was from your other video! I love the rope/hollow tube pattern made when using it vertically. I have no idea what I would use such a brush for though, besides cool geometric shapes and patterns! 😅 Ok, I guess it’s great for foliage. PS: I love the way you do the tree trunks… Mine are always so ‘dead’ and artificial… Definitely going to try that :P Ok… I love the tubular effect too much… I gotta add this to my wishlist >

Thank you for posting this video. I found it very EnJoyable 😊 -I was going to buy one brush. But with the cost of the postage, doubled the price. Making it $28. + I think that’s a bit much for just one brush.Did you pay that much for this brush ¿? I hope NOT.. -I was shocked at the postage 😮

How can I order it?

It looks like it could be pretty limited though hey, not super versatile 😊

How unusual. Where can I get some please. As I could not find Rosemary Rotary tree brushes. Could not find it in the link provided. Can you help ?

Only in 8 and 10??? 😭

Too late again. Rosemary is out of stock with the larger size. I activated the notification when back in stock. Anticipation is making me wait... Na, it's the one of the spirograph effect.

Ooh! You can work some magic with this brush!🪄Thanks, Vee😘
