I use mainly Winsor and Newton colours, and in this video I use Drawell round brushes to keep the movement in the paint free and expressive. For detail I use a rigger, but the actual brushes you use are not critical to your success.
You can follow my method by watching the video. It’s very simple - why not give it a try?
