THE CLASSIC
I am a traditional painter, trained in the traditional way using a simple round brush. I started off learning how to draw with a brush, so my brush needs a good fine point, and it needs to keep it. I also need my brush to hold a lot of moisture, so a natural brush is best for that and it needs to be a decent size. I need my brush to be responsive, to have enough 'bounce' so that I can control the stroke, and it needs to be feel well balanced in my hand when I use it. So I have had my favourite brush especially made for me. I love it, its called 'The Classic'
The Classic head is 0.9cms in diameter and 3cms long, it's made primarily from squirrel hair with a very small amount of 'synthetic water badger' added for strength. The handle is high gloss black with a gold ferrule and a purple tip. It's gorgeous and soft, perfect for watercolour.

THE PYRAMID


I also paint using watercolour stroke techniques, this means I need all the same qualities of my classic brush but the added advantage of a unique shaped head, this helps me to produce fabulous strokes not quite so simple to do with a classic round. The pyramid shaped head gives me a directional driving or steering capability, so convenient for stroke work. This brush has enormously increased my stroke work techniques, its particularly good for flowers and leaf shapes. So I have also had this brush made for me, its called
'The Pyramid'
The Pyramid head is 0.9cms on each of its three sides and 3.2cms long. The same as the Classic brush, its made primarily from squirrel hair with a very small amount of prolene added for strength. The handle is high gloss black with a gold ferrule and purple tip. It's gorgeous and soft, perfect for stroke work.
