Arts

This is the watercolor brush I use for almost all of my drawings (Derwent waterbrush, medium size). It never leaks and although it’s a bit stiff, that allows you to easily adjust the amount of water. I even painted almost the entire book using this one. Although a bit pricey, it does pay off.

Pro tip: gently poke the brush a bit from the inside with a thumbtack or paper clip when it feels clogged.

Special thanks to my friends who got my first brush for my birthday.

    1. Yes, you are absolutely right Pete. A dog is for life, not Christmas, not lockdown, not nothing! Only to be welcomed into a caring and loving home ‘for life’.
