Recently I came across a stash of old brushes and dip style ink pens and wondered what I could do with them -- I am definitely not an artist like you are -- BTW I love your watercolors. Anyway, I have decided that there must be more people like you who have love affairs with pens and brushes. They are now displayed in our shop for all to love.

If you do...Well this post assaulted my virgin eyes! If you don't believe me, just ask my wife. Being constantly broke, I've got cheap brushes that I just looked at and saw are made in China. No wonder my paintings have such a cheap look about them! Oh well. I'm using liquid acrylic and creating multi-media paintings, and by the time I get done, it doesn't matter what kind of brush I use anyway. They are fun to make, though.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797214493308780866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-5779458509982150612011-07-06T11:31:30.862-04:002011-07-06T11:31:30.862-04:00Thisis the all-time best simile!!!!

Then a Teacher who had retired from Hallmark convinced me that the world's best brush is the supremely pricy Scharf male Kolinsky sable (or some such sable) . I bought 2 sizes. After a year or two I bought Connoisseur synthetic that was on sale at my local art store. I've been surprisingly content.<br />No Longer!!!! I feel a deep lust for new brushes!!
