Escoda Light Ox Hair Long Lettering Brushes
- Escoda takes great care in curing their brush hair so that what results is a
tool offering remarkable spring and resilience. Their Light Ox hair is an
excellent choice for medium-size stroke work, edging and striping. The short,
lacquered natural wood handle, long lettering brushes, offers superb control.
It's attached to the nickel-plated brass ferrule via Escoda's exclusive triple
crimping process.

and plastic handles. The pack includes 144 brushes in all: 72 Pony brushes

Isabey Cat's Tongue Pointed Oval Wash
- Its unusual shape lends itself to the name "Cat's Tongue." This
brush is really three brushes in one. Paint with the point for fine lines,
with the side for medium strokes, and with the flat side of the brush for
washes and large areas. The Isebay Cat's Tongue Oval Wash has super soft, pure
squirrel hair set in a seamless, nickel-plated ferrule on a short, lacquered
handle.
Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Brushes
- A range of synthetic brushes made by blending fibers of
different thicknesses to achieve the most important qualities sought after by
the watercolorist — strength, spring, and color holding capacity. The
Windsor & Newton Cotman round and one-stroke brushes have nickel-plated
ferrules and short blue lacquered handles. The aquarelle brush has
nickel-plated ferrules, solid acrylic handles, and angled flat ends.
Princeton Long Handle Umbria Flat
- Princeton’s new series of synthetic hair brushes (Long Handle Umbria Flat)
features an extra degree of stiffness to move and control color. Unlike
natural bristles, which become soft and distorted when used in a water based
medium, the bristles on these brushes retain their shape and stiffness. Each
brush features two shades of hair, seamless gold colored ferrules, and a
Velvetouch handle for excellent grip and control. They can be used with
heavier acrylic paints as well as oil and water based oil colors.
Old Holland Kolinsky Sable Bright
- Old Holland has been synonymous with quality oil colors for
more than 300 years. They took their time developing a line of brushes worthy
of their oils and really got it right! Using a special blend of the finest
quality Russian Kolinsky sable, the head (shape) of each brush is handcrafted
by experienced, world-class brushmakers to the exact requirements of master
artists. Each brush is put through extensive trials over many months. Heads
are then firmly attached to seamless polished nickel-plated ferrules.
Silver-tipped, finely balanced matte black hardwood handles augment the
distinguished look and feel of these magnificent tools. Experience the firm
feel of very full Kolinsky hair brushes, the superb shaping of the heads,
which come to an excellent edge and/or point, and the luxurious softness of
only the finest hair.
PAINTING
TECHNIQUES - ART TIP OF THE DAY
You may not be a Raphael, Rembrandt or Ruben,
however, *Oil painting is straightforward, far simpler
than etching or even watercolor painting. If you can see something, you can
paint it in oils. To create something memorable, however, you need to:
1. Formulate what you hope to achieve, and
devise a workable route to that objective.
2. Research the market if you wish to sell the
work.
3. Approach the painting process in logical
steps, which usually entail:
a. drawings to investigate compositional
possibilities.
b. blocked-out charcoal/pencil/oil sketches
to arrange tonal values.
c. oil sketches to experiment with various
color schemes and harmonies.
d. preparing canvas and paint for the
anticipated tasks.
e. applying paint to canvas, either
incorporating the results of b and c in direct painting, or by tackling them
in distinct phases.
f. varnishing, framing and hanging the work.
