4 Brushes that fill the needs for most watercolour, acrylic or craft painting
Bonita and I are asked many times what's the best brush to use for this and that, well of course there isn't a definitive answer, we can only say what works for us and at a push what doesn't.
This selection comprises of a No 12 Synthetic Sable Round - No 6 Synthetic Sable Round - No 1 Synthetic Rigger - No 4 Bristle Fan brush the 4 brushes we use for probably 95% of our watercolour or acrylic paintings.

I have been a professional artist for 40 years now and I have used just about every type of brush there is, some costing hundreds of pounds others costing a few pence. My conclusions are, there is a lot of mystique involved hence the wide range of cost per brand.
A brush is a handle, a ferule and bristle at the end of it. The business end, the bristle is the major difference. I have used bristles made of goat hair, squirrel, mongoose, badger, sable, hogs hair and and many more types that escape me for the moment.
Well that's the mystique, that secret bristle that paints a perfect picture hmmm.... I have to say that in most cases modern technology has come up with better performing and longer lasting bristles manufactured for the specific role.
Its hard for me to imagine someone stumbling across a dead mongoose and thinking, what can we do with the fur, I know lets make brushes from it. I will go for high tech design thank you very much, of course the proof of the pudding is in the eating and these three brushes are not expensive but more importantly work for the role intended.
