How paint reacts to period brushes

So I did some experimentation while I was at the recent Southern Region Scribal. I had some blue paint and used period brush next to a modern brush of approximately the same size to see how they react.

Two observations:

1.  The opacity and complete coverage was higher for the period brushes.  Looking at the paint done by a modern brush there is a fading on the edges.  Not so with the period brush.

2.  When you made a brush stroke, there was some blobbing (technical term) and uneven lines or breaks.  I am not sure if this is the fault of the brush or the artist, because this is the first time that I am taking these out for a spin. 

I did feel that the ability to have such a large amount of paint and a very long tip made for some interesting flow as seen by the Z and A at the bottom.

Action plan: period pigments with period brush vs period pigments with modern brush on velum and paper. A much larger image is below so hopefully you can see some of the details.
