Bad comparison. There’s really nothing special about paint brushes or paints. You might think things like air brushes…but even the ancients used an airbrush technique. Among my hobbies, I also a paint (Note: I don’t consider myself an artist, and I’m only self-trained. If you care to view my work, you can see it all here — https://paintingsbydanforce.blogspot.com/). I have basic brushes and tools that I use to apply basic paints to basic canvases. I think that’s the same process(es) that the likes of da Vinci used. I have a fried who actually makes a living as a painter using the same processes. There’s really no “technology” involved.
Sorry…I digress. Back to the brakes discussion.
