This is a great tip. I've used PGD for years and never thought to do this. Art brushes are a bit of a hidden gem.
It would be great if these 'hidden' nuggets of knowledge were all collected together and made available somewhere.
I'm not sure this is a particularly useful example but I made it as a reminder to myself of the creative possibilities.
