Thanks for the wonderful class Helen! I managed to create a glitter brush that I really like - yay! However, the brush I would love to create is sort of a gold leaf accent brush & I'm stuck. I have tried so many different settings, but there are so many options & I'm just missing the info to fix the brush. (btw, I really loved how you said we were creating brushes that would paint the way we wanted them to.)

In the process, there were several brushes that I do really like, but they just aren't the final brush I want. :) 

As you can see, there are several that look sort of like foil, but I want more of the look with the one with the arrow. The problem with all of these brushes is that it is very hard to paint with without totally bleaching/erasing/whiting out whatever is underneath. Some are better than others, but just not what I want. The brush I used for the pear with the arrow was so difficult because you had to be really precise & get it right the first time - absolutely no going over it again. 

So any suggestions? I would like a brush that I could use as an easy gold leaf accent.
