Holds lots of water, uses lots of paint
4 Stars
Holds lots of water, uses lots of paint
At first, I hated it. Not the most expensive brush I own but not as inexpensive as the brushes I usually use. When I woke up and saw the brush strokes I played around with it, I appreciated the investment more.In the future, I would purchase a size 0 or 2 because I believe the size would be more useful to me as l usually paint directly from half pans and the size 4 is better suited for full pan use.I hated because I am used to synthetic brushes with more snap so there is a learning curve here.The brush I received holds water weirdly, can you see the edge on the strokes? I kinda like it tho, so it's Ok. I did the purple wash in the sparkle name with this brush
Thank you for your feedback
