Tool – Bear Foot 3” with Small Rounded and Tiny Wave ends
Bear Foot #7-3” with Small Rounded and Tiny Wave ends – A great accent tool.
- Use the small, rounded end is another curve option, roughly the size of the smaller end of the P-3” Paisley tool in the original Texture Tool Kit. Use it for larger feathering, rooftiles or scales.
- Tiny wave end makes flowing repetitive marks for the “dragon flower” pattern. Use it like the concave edge of the SC-3” Straight Curve tool, but with a curve. The wavy end is great for accenting a previous mark to squish and reinforce the marks like on the branches of the Tree of Life pattern.
I use this in conjunction with the larger wave tools to squish them together to get a really lush mark in the dragon flower and for the branches of the Tree of Life.
Comes with a Tips and Techniques sheet including images of sample patterns to get you started.
