WHAT THE ARTIST USED

Brushes

» Artisan, Winsor & Newton, Nos. 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16

» Premier series 705, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 (these brushes are often abused so I buy cheap ones eventually replacing them with new ones each painting)

» Bristle fan brush Nos. 2, 4 and 6 (never nylon)

Large brushes tend to smoothen and blend too much hazing the brushstrokes making the painting appear “slick.”
