However I recently started using FW Acrylics and I'm Much happier with the look. That being said if you dont mind super vibrant color PH Martins are incredibly easy to work with and settle very evenly. I'll start with the outline and black shading, be perfectly happy until I lay that first color and it shines like a rainbow. The problems is I mostly like to paint Japanese imagery and the PH Martins are way too vibrant. I've been using PH martins for the majority of my paintings. If you wanna read a lot about different watercolor brands, this is rad:Īnyone have material/technique stuff to share?

I just scored a big sheet of 400lb, haven't used it yet.Īnyway, I like Speedballs, Chinese/Japanese lining brushes (MenSou), Daniel Smith watercolors, some Holbien, squirrel hair brushes for watering, series 7 brushes, although DaVinci's are nice too. I remember Bob talking about how even in the rolls it's never as good as the individual sheets. Access our Brush Charts for more information on types of paintbrushes, including brush shapes, fiber types, and measurements.Thought I'd start a thread about things people use & know about Watercolor (& Gouache, Ink, FW etc)Īfter painting several things on actual loose Arches paper, I'm doing a big piece on one of their blocks and I think it SUCKS!! The quality of the paper just doesn't seem as good, everything is just sticking so hard, have to pre-wet everything til it practically seeps through the lines. These brushes and sets also come in natural and synthetic varieties that offer a more affordable introduction to watercolor painting.

Another benefit of synthetic watercolor brushes is that they can also be used with other media.īlick is proud to offer a wide selection of watercolor brushes in every shape and size from the most respected brushmakers in the world, plus watercolor brushes for kids, classrooms, intermediate students, and beginning artists of all ages and skill levels.

The high cost and scarcity of high-quality natural fibers in recent years has encouraged the development of high-performing, lower-cost synthetic alternatives that perform as well or better than natural hair brushes in many cases. The best watercolor brushes are known for their water-holding and paint-holding abilities, plus their resiliency and spring (the ability to return to their original shape). High-end watercolor brushes, such as Kolinsky sable pointed rounds, are prized for their ability to hold a fine point, which is useful for detail work. These brushes traditionally have short handles so artists can work close to the surface and have more control over fine details. Watercolor paint brushes typically feature long, absorbent natural hairs, synthetic filaments, or a blend of the two.
