There are currently four brushes available.

THE CLASSIC ROUND

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 BRUSH
(Available in a small size as well as standard)
I also paint using watercolour Stroke techniques, (this is the brush used in my latest DVD) I need all the same qualities of my Classic brush but with 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, leaf shapes and water.
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 'Synthetic Water Badger' 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.

THE POINTER
This brush is my latest design, it is so much easier to use than a Rigger brush and is wonderful for detailed work. The outer part of the brush is the same Squirrel mix that is used for my other brushes but the inner point is 100% synthetic. I woundn't normally use a synthetic brush, but this has the advantage of having the resevoir capabilities of my natural haired brushes but the strength of a synthetic brush and therefor the ability to maintain a point. This means it wont wear out as quickly as a totally natural haired brush.
