In this video, I share my thoughts on the following Princeton brushes "Filbert", "Cat's Tongue", and my favorite go to brush, " #8 Round" I love them all and I had so much fun playing with them here, making some new discoveries, and may be trading in my #8 round for this beautiful Cat's Tongue! (Also, referred to as an Oval Wash) I LOVE it so much!
I've also designed a brush set~ small release and over 85% SOLD OUT

Before painting each day, if time permits for you (I promise it's worth it ), take 15 mins and do this warm-up with me before sitting down to paint, you do this daily, and it will make a huge difference in your confidence and expression in your paintings. https://youtu.be/nL70DG_huCM
If you haven't watched yet, my Secret Tips https://youtu.be/k5cMnXKr_AU it has some great tips on water control. When you master your water control, you will feel more confident in your paintings and painting with this magical medium.
I thought it might be fun to offer a worksheet and practice painting available for you in my Etsy shop!
You watched me paint it, and I priced it very attractively for you!
What fun, right? Your purchase will help me and YOU! What's included?
* painting from tutorial signed dated and tutorial episode name
* my pre-recording swatch I created with colors for reference (all handwritten)
* more pre-work, showing brushstrokes, descriptions
These are all my behind-the-scenes notes and prework.
Every painting is on different papers, depending on what I was teaching, various sizes, and meant for supporting you, although it can be framed as well as a fun piece!
