SHOP ART BRUSHES…
I started making art brushes a few years ago and I have made well over 1000 to date. I love finding a fallen branch that has not succumbed to rot or insects and give it a new purpose. Over time I have developed a love for the beauty of the wood and how it feels in my hand making it easy to reach for one of these tools. I use old paint and masonry brushes, vintage casters, and feathers to create the brush tops. Each one makes a unique mark and they look beautiful while waiting to do the job.
What my lovely customers are saying…
I love these mark making tools - so creative how Leslie has repurposed what would have been discarded! I know that they will add interesting marks, texture & dimension to my prints! I’ve loved all the brushes I’ve bought from Leslie - her eye for design and commitment to quality is first rate - Carol Haralson
This brush was such a delightful surprise when I opened it! The craftsmanship and details are beyond my expectations. I cannot wait to paint and see what unique mark marking this beauty will bring! I'll be ordering more of these. - Coco Dowley
I’ve ordered several brushes and each one is not only gorgeous to eye and hand but has allowed me to create some wonderful art. As well, several artist-friends will be receiving a Leslie Rottner brush for Christmas and I know that they’ll be delighted. - Abigail Anderson
