FINALLY a painter showing what brushes and how they use. So many processes focus on the drawing and NEVER show what brushes they use when that is such a crucial thing to show and teach!

So useful! Thank you! Would love to see you and the other youtuber, Florent Farges, do some form of collaboration. He has a series talking and working with other artists Live. I would love to see you on there and your opinions on things!!

Thank you so much . What you use for blending for example to make sfumato effect? Or what brush you use for little details for example for painting details in eyes?

The synthetics I've tried, do not last more then 3 uses for me without fanning out, loosing shape. In the old pile they go. But constant purchase of new ones adds up! I've 40 year old badger hairs still good! I'd like to buy some quality natural haired brushes from rosemary, but law forbids the u.s. sale. I'm a bit frustrated with the whole thing.. The long haired brushes i love! For covering large areas of color, they work great. Paint must be really thinned down though.

I notice that commonly used type of brush in oil painting is filbert....why?
