I use the brayer method and can state that also for 18x24 cm the method can be
advantageous for initial inking.
Thanks to Klaus Pollmeier I use the 5cm , cheap, foam brayers; always two. One
for the inking -the ink must be less stiff compared to brush inking- and one
for clearing the image , w.o.w. taking of the ink. The brush and the brayer
method can be combined in order to work out detail.
By the way, Martin Pudenz uses the brayer technique in a way that the brayer
strokes can be seen ; he is a real artist!
If the brayers are too dirty, I throw them away ; if cleaning is possible I use
the 'old' Sunlight soap to clean them, like my brushes.
