Thank you, am 74 year female have wanted to do art for a very long time in fact the very first time i ever picked up a pencil & started to draw, have decided to do some art with a small group . Was very confused about brushes, but you have made it I little easier.

Don't judge me : I had a watercolour fan brush and didn't know how to use it so I just use it as a highlighter brush now 😂🤣

[bluegleam]

This video is really handy for me as a beginner

[bia_tastic]

Anyone who uses the same brushes for each kind of painting..
No only me, okay 😂
Loves ❤️❤️❤️

I Can’t help but think putting together all this info and research about watercolor brushes was A LOT of work. Thanks for putting in the work for us tho👌👍🏻👍🏻this vid had some helpful tips😉

[sentientnpc]

Me: binge watching art videos.
My brain: "how about you start drawing and painting already"
Me: starts watching next art vid 😂

When your paintbrush dies, "I think it had a stroke" #makoficationsquad

*wow...*




*I am definitely a beginner in EVERY KIND of art, even though I've done it most of my life lol*

I haven’t watched the whole video yet but I already know it’s going to be helpful.
I haven’t tried watercolor yet and I’ve been thinking about trying it out but I want to know everything about it first 😊

[ishitayashipandey]

Just the exact video I needed! Thanks!

[LiyanaDIY]

I was wondering about brushes just yesterday!

[angelaem]

Aaaaah mother is an artist so we have lots in the house. I noticed that a good quality brush with nice bristles, a fine tip and a firm wooden handle will reward you in so many ways, that after a while I started thinking their price is actually cheap considering how practical they are...I am a natural hater of synthetic brushes, we don't see eye to eye he he Also if you consider brushes a family, the fan brush would be the punk rock cousin with the tomahawk 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for this crystallization of watercolor brush experience! 🖼🎨👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✨👏🏻

[shellydraws]

I love these videos you make to give us some art tips! When you show the difference between Watercolour, Gouache and Acrylics. Or when you show the difference between Watercolour pans, tubes and liquids. It helps us a load! Thanks a lot, Mako for being so amazing!

[mysticdragon]

Omg I’ve been needing a tutorial of this I literally have thousands 😂

[mjpete]

Very good information for all users who don't know of, or have forgotten what all the brushes are available out there today!

[fangchick]

My all purpose watercolour brush is a squirrel round size 10 one by Paul Ruben. I like my other brushes, but I always grab that one for my paintings. It has a lovely point but can hold a ton of water or paint. If I had to choose one brush to use forever, that would the one

[jeandreap]

Thanks!! I was looking information and the name of de brushes to buy in english! because i'm a spanish speaker 😅 and your video was perfect!! 🤩

[lizap]

This was so much information, put together clearly and simply. I wanted to start painting as a hobby- 33 and never done anything “artsy” before, just wanted to give it a shot, but it seemed so overwhelming. I’ve really loved your videos!

[MaxusFox]

I recently dusted off a chinese calligraphy set I got years ago and turns out the brushes work pretty nicely with watercolors~
So Mako, I was wondering if you'd like to try calligraphy brushes in one of your videos and give your opinion on them?

However, if these brushes' materials conflict with any principles of yours, that's okay too so no pressure.

[snow_flake]

The problem is I bought fancy brushes without researching and ruined them. Now that I know how to use them, my mom won't buy me new ones.
