    One thing that wasn’t mentioned about cleaning brushes is to use cool water, warm or hot water can melt the glues in the ferrules and you can loose bristles over time and ruin the brush.

    Hi there! I was painting for a couple of years (watercolor) and then life prevented me from painting for the last 2 years. Now my mother gifted me a Caran D'Ache Gouache set and I start painting again. And I thought 'watch some brush video's to get back the vibe'.
    I painted along side your video, and had a lot of fun. Thank you for your amazing videos! ☺🤗

    I truly appreciate the education on brushes that you’ve provided for us today. There was one thing you said that was of great help to me…”It to me a lot of years” in sorting out what you like and your style (my wording with yours). We watch edited videos so not always seeing the full process and I for one have had to remind myself that it takes the artist I’m watching much longer, as a rule, in painting something very nice and finished. I’ve been painting with watercolors now for over six years and I still consider myself a newbie😊

    Hey Sarah! Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the subscription boxes. I hesitated in signing up because we're trying to save money these days; but, the quality of all of the included products is great, and the video content is just incredible!! Can't believe how much I've learned in just the first three months!! Well worth the investment!!

I think this is the first time I’ve ever commented but I’ve been watching your channel for a long while now and I cannot wait to get my first kit in the mail!

    Nice brushes thank you for going over the purpose of each brush. Years ago, I found a good way and a cheap way to clean your brushes and that is a bar of original Ivory soap and it reminds me of the product you just used because the paint comes out on the soap and it works really well.

I bought a quill brush that I think is mostly meant for lettering but I love it for everything- it can make super thin lines, thick lines, it holds a ton of paint or water, I have painted entire paintings with this one quill brush! Thank you for posting such great content- I always look forward to your videos!

    Hello Sarah, thank you so much for all the videos you do, especially when you are out and about plein air painting in the Highlands and forests of Scotland. Just love those videos. But this one was really great too. Your assessment of all your favourite brushes was superb. I did enjoy it. We do not have a teacher for our art group now as our original teacher retired with ill health. We all watch art videos and bring the expertise of professional artists like yourself to our group and share our researches. My favourite brushes are the Winsor and Newton professional pointed round brushes. They hold large amounts of water/paint and have a long fine and delicate point, all real sable hairs. Had my set for years and with care, they will last me out. Kind regards, Kathy Moffat.

    Hi Sarah, I just discovered your channel today. Your artwork is beautiful and inspiring. I love the way you use colour and your creamy blues and washes of magenta hue choices are my style too! I'm in the process of learning, at what is the very beginning it feels like. As you gain knowledge the more and more you realize there is to learn 😅 Mostly watercolour. I like the idea of mixed media and also have qouache I want to become good friends with. This video of yours on brushes is exactly what I need. It's fun to have versatile brushes in your arsenal like the round type. Also, I think it could be fun to try some of those very specific brush types to make easier work of some techniques. I'm going to go play with the various types I have and learn more about them through exploration! Thanks for the inspiration, Sarah!
