Thank you for providing the best description of the parts of the brushes and why (for example) the size of the belly of the brush for gouache can be smaller. I love your videos and so glad you focus on gouache. 💖 i find gouache so forgiving for beginner like me. Its easy to clean up like WC but covers like acrylic if you want it to.

This was definitely a wonderful help in deciding what kind of brushes to use & choose for painting with gouache. I am use to the round brushes, liner brush & angled brushes but not the flat with watercolor. The flat brush is still one to get use to using.

You should do a video on your favorite brush brands

OOH! How did I miss this one???? Thank you so much.

I must have missed it, did you say what type of brand of brush you like?

I have just discovered your helpful videos. However this one would be helpful if you said the size and make of the brush like other Artists on You Tube do. We are left guessing which size and model they are.

I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but I looked on the Daler-Rodney website, and the Round Aquafine brush is made of synthetic bristles as well sable and goat hair. This saddens me, as I’ve been a vegan for many years and always use paint brushes with synthetic bristles, as you try to do.

When the paint peels off them and it gets on your painting😢😅

just a head up, in the video you walk in the shop and start bending the bristles. while ok for big brushes. you should be careful as alot of brushes have a waxy coating so you can ruin a brush testing it before washing. i know shops brushes its a bit differen as you want to know how it feels but this is meant of newbs who might start testing them out of a pack in a store or at home a wreck them.
