4 Watercolor Brushes Everyone Needs NOW! — A Full Guide to Knowing Your Brush is Right For The JOB!

Join me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Choosing watercolor brushes doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. In this video, I talk about many brushes, including how to eliminate ones which aren’t suitable for watercolor. I then share the four basic watercolor brushes that will cover almost everything you need, whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to painting after a break. I explain what each brush is really for, how to tell when a brush is right for the job, and why fewer but well-chosen brushes often lead to better, more enjoyable painting. We’ll focus on what truly matters and what you can safely ignore, so you can get great results without overspending or overthinking. This is a calm, practical guide to help you paint with more confidence and less fuss. Settle in, relax, and let’s make watercolor brushes simple again!

They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html —— ➡️ *Where You’ll Find Us* *Our Online Homes* Website: https://dianeantone.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/@DianeAntoneStudio Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Facebook: https://facebook.com/dianeantonestudio Instagram: https://instagram.com/dianeantonestudio Pinterest: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio *Our Facebook Communities* Facebook Members Only Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianeantonestudiomembers Facebook Learn to Paint Watercolor Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnwatercolourpainting Facebook Learn to Paint Mixed Media Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnhowtopaint Subscribe to https://youtube.com/@fromthegarden for behind the scenes videos of life on and around our little farm in Brittany, France Diane Antone Studio makes a commission from sales made through the above links.* #dianeantonestudio #watercolor #art
