The Importance of Using Good Watercolor Brushes

In this video, I share some of my favorite choices of watercolor brushes. I learned from Daniel Parkhurst, a painter, the importance of using good brushes. He says:
“Don’t look upon your brushes as something to get as few of as possible, and which you would not get at all if you could help it. There is nothing which comes nearer to yourself than the brush which carries out your idea in paint.”
“Your brush represents your hand. You must give every kind of touch with it. You don’t want to feel that you are limited; that whether you want to or not these four brushes you must use because they are all you have! You can’t paint that way. When you get your first outfit, get at least a dozen brushes. As you look over the stock and pick out two or three of this kind, and two or three of that, you will be astonished to see how many you have-yet you don’t know which to discard. Don’t discard any. Buy them all. Then, if you don’t paint, it will not be the fault of your brushes.”

I would like to thank you for you beautiful tutorials! I have been painting for about 8 months, and the way you record your sessions is fantastic. It helps so much to see on the screen, at the same time, the reference photo, and your palette with the demo how to mix colors.

Please give the specifics about the Rosemary and Co. sable round that you send in this demo. Your demo sold me on that brush. Thank you for this demo. The timing was perfect. I just purchased some new brushes and was thinking did I really need them. YES
@laurelhart2183
@laurelhart2183 Год назад
Ha ha! Yes, you did need them! The Rosemary brush is a size 10 Kolinsky Sable SER 33. It’s a fabulous brush! More expensive than the Kingart brushes, but so worth the money. Hope you can find it! Thanks for watching!

I've been watching your uploads for a few years. Always intrigued by your triad method, but never thought I was up to the challenge. I do so love the painterly effect you achieve and am trying to branch out from my comfort zone. Yesterday, I gave it a shot. It is definitely something that requires practice. My washes were too watery and to be honest, I didn't pick a good reference photo -- but the little lamb was too tempting. Oh, well. I'm not discouraged though, and realize that with plenty of practice I'll get the consistency right. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
@laurelhart2183
@laurelhart2183 Год назад
So glad you shared this experience. You are absolutely right-you will get the right consistency as you keep practicing. Save the pieces you think are failures and compare them to each new one you do. You’ll soon begin to see improvement. Every failure is a step on the ladder to success! If you love doing it, it will be enough to keep you going.

I'm glad you made this video, because it was enlightening. As someone who does drawing and watercolor as a hobby, I'm somewhat surprised that I never heard this advice about building and maintaining a full kit of brushes before. I had only been buying one or two round brushes at a time and would try to make do with a very limited collection. Because of that, I would often get frustrated when the tools weren't right for the job, and get discouraged. Thanks.

I don’t stick to one brand, but I only use professional grade watercolors. Some trusted brands are Winsor Newton, Blick, Grumbacher, Daniel Smith, and Holbein. There are others too. Thanks for watching.

Enjoyed very much, the opaque yellow was very helpful. My favorite single brush is a Raphael 8404 natural bristle with the orange tip on the handle. I would love to have an arbor like this in our yard. It would make the heat of summer worth it. (Almost)
@laurelhart2183
@laurelhart2183 Год назад
Ha ha! This is the second comment referencing the heat we’ve all had to endure this summer. Yes, it would be lovely to have one of these arbors wouldn’t it? I’m thanks for sharing your favorite brush. I’ll have to try it out!
