Brushes

Brushes - you will need the following size brushes on this holiday

Size 12

Size 8

Size 4

Size 2 or rigger

Brushes are very personal and all artists have their own preferences, some pay a king's ransom for Windsor and Newton Series 7 sable and though expensive they will last a lifetime. Other artists buy lesser sable, or sable and synthetic mix, these are cheaper, and will eventually need replacing. For a beginner I would recommend Ken Bromley art supplies sable brushes. You may source these yourself from the link provided, or we will source for you if you ask.
