"I've found that especially with watercolour, if the quality falls short of expectations, you're on a losing wicket to start with. A quality Kolinsky sable brush from Rosemary & Co, with a springy feel and an excellent point will enhance confidence as you progress with the various washes. For most watercolourists out in the field, these brushes will surely satisfy your needs. These are the ones I have used on so many occasions and have stood up to the rigours of my 'full on' style of working. I've had these brushes from Rosemary & Co for quite some time and they are still perfectly usable. Dip them in water and give them a 'flick' and even now they retain that perfect point. They also have a marvellous reservoir capability and as long as you look after them, they should last you a very long time." David Curtis, 2024
We asked David one brush you cannot live without?
David's answer: The Series 33 size 12, The absolute must for all eventualities. This brush will deliver a superb reservoir of colour to assure a full run over the sheet. This will then instill a confidence of application and set the scene as the painting moves forward.
