Craft this special Father’s Day Paintbrush Poem for the Dad that colors your life with bright spots. It’s a useful paintbrush that can be accompanied by a can of paint if there is a special project in mind. You might even tell Dad that you’d love to help (especially if it’s your room) and buy an extra paintbrush for yourself.  This Father’s Day Paintbrush Poem makes a useful gift very special.

Trivia

Sable brushes, for example, are some of the best brushes for watercolours, but the larger ones can only be made after particularly harsh winters in Siberia and Mongolia, when a sable’s tail becomes particularly bushy. Other animal hair was frequently used, each hair hand-glued to the handle up until the 18th century. Back then, brush makers were highly regulated, unionized, and well regarded, with training taking up to 8 years. . Source:Primetime Paint – A Brief History of The Paintbrush
