Watercolor Brushes 101: Testing and Creating Brush Marks Library

1. Watercolor Brushes Introduction: You love to paint with watercolors and loose style and NJ observances, gorgeous color bleeds. But when it comes to practice, something goes wrong and you cannot work out what it is. The reason my b is the brushes which you are using. There is a huge choice of brushes and you don't need to buy all of them. But how to know which one to choose in which properties you are looking for when choosing a new brush will save you money and avoids the frustration from the process. It is such a huge difference when you use the right brushes. Did it, did it? Did it, did it then. Hello, I'm Nina, also known as music out on Instagram and watercolor artists specializing in loose style, who also loves her digital watercolor art, both online and in-person. Painting. Loose style without pencil sketch is a pure magic which allows you to work on the fear of blank paper and to bring life to your watercolors, make them unique. My mission in all my watercolor classes is to share with you the joy of painting with watercolors. There might be several factors which affect this joint, and among them is brush control. In this class, I will teach you how to test and explore different properties of your brushes. Look which ones are great for painting in a loose style. For certain watercolor techniques. More hour you will put in practice as I obtained knowledge by painting loose floral compositions. This class is suitable for all levels, especially it will be useful for beginners. No prior knowledge is required. If you're new to this channel. Welcome, Professor Follow button on the top, the gentleman's is creative journey visa. First to know when my new class is released. After taking this class, you will know whether you have the right brushes, for which purpose you can use each of them, the range of brushstrokes and brush marks you can create using them. Where do you find the perfect match your watercolor practice turns into J4 and relaxing process. So what are you waiting for? Grab your brushes, and let's dive into painting. 2. Supplies: Welcome to the class. I'm really excited about this class. So let's prepare the materials which we are going to use. We will need watercolor paper for practicing and explorations. Lead to more A4 size pieces of paper. This is 100% cotton paper, cold press, one. For painting. Our beautiful class projects will need watercolors or the color palette, water, paper towels to remove extra moisture. And we will need brushes because it's the main focus of this class is going to be brushes. If you have few brushes, they exert ones which you have. If you have many brushes and make a selection and choose the ones which you aren't sure how to use them or have some doubts and your favorite ones. So this exercises will help you to know why you like those brushes which you use. So let's prepare the materials and let's dive right into painting and Joseph process and see you in the next lesson. 3. Class Project: Your class project in this class will be to make a selection now, or 57 brushes, which are usually used for watercolors and also take some of them which you usually don't use for painting with watercolor. So then it could be quite interesting experiment and maybe you will find out also some re-discovered for award. You can use them using these brushes first makes a tester on water absorption. Next part is going to be to make washes. And once as I will get dry, you can practice with a brush marks and the next exercise will be to test your brushes so on, elasticity and pressure. Once you have finished with this, we will move to our first-class project. That is the brush marks on the next class project that is dedicated to explores their brush marks in movement with pressure. I hope this sounds exciting for you. Forward to see your class projects. Please upload your class projects and the process of testing your brushes and do the class project gallery. I'm looking at fluoride to see your experiments and explorations. See you in the next lesson. 4. Brush Selection: Welcome to a new lesson where we are going to prepare our brushes. I have prepared a quite big range of brushes. So answer which usually your face or when you are painting with watercolors are. So let's have a look because this brush is a size eight and it is squirrels imitation hairs. It squeal. So you can see that it's connected this way and it has a quite long hairs. Next one is also girl's hair imitation brush size number eta about the difference compared to this one. You can see that it has really fine tip and we will see how it works in action next, brushes, that is a calligraphy, Chinese calligraphy or so Mayo brush, which is made from really softer goat hairs. And you will see that though also is used by many artists to paint with watercolors. This one is size six or synthetic quill brush. And you may notice it's a bit is that you cannot transmit the filling of texture and stature this brush through video, but it's more resistant. And the hair, so they are quite, this ones are really soft and this one quite hard. And other brushes that is also squirrels, imitation synthetic brush, size number ten, and it's round brush. E.g. you can see the difference. This one has a really fine tip. This one isn't a lady. We'll see how it affects our brushstrokes. That is different. Material, that is natural Kolinsky sable brush and a size six, the hairs are more resistant and we'll see it in action. This brush, actually, I wasn't going to take it. But then I have remembered that when I started that it was my mistake and I noticed many people face I exhaust ones who are just starting with the most available art supplies, which has usually quite cheap. I would like to show you the action. You may notice that these brushes is usually size 6810 and this one is size two. It's saying Daddy round brush. It's really hard and resistant. You can see that to bend it, you need to press quite a lot and you will see it why I have chosen it. Because sometimes when you start a yo-yo, you tend to use a really small brushes. And brushes, which aren't really perfect for watercolors because it actually, they don't hold really a lot of water. And you will see why. And then you may recognize yourself or no. And then you will find the solution. How to improve your watercolor skills just by choosing the correct brush. So now prepare paper. Let's move on to breakfast you in the next lesson. 5. Water Absorption Test: There are three main points which we consider a while choosing watercolor brush. First one is water absorption. Second is elasticity. And third point is brush marks, which we can get using this brush. Let's have a look first at water absorption. It, this means is that how much water your brush is going to hold and for how long it's going to release that water mixed with paint. For sure, it's clear that the more bristles are, your brush hassle than its capacity is bigger, as well as the materials used for making these bristles also will matter. You can see that this one is really like soft. This is really hard. And this is a bit like a mix between these two. Let's see how much water absorb our brushes. I start with Mach brush, which is a really famous for good water absorption. And you can see that it holds quite well. They're deep. That is another important part, depending in which position you are holding the brush, whether it's a totally vertical, then you can get really thin lines and you can control it better. Or you can hold it a bit bended as this also will affect the line which it lives. So let's check whether with this brush we can get really thin lines. Seems like yam. Let's press a bit more. Now. I'm applying a bit more pressure. You can see that I still have got that brush. Also, you might notice that my brush has changed its shape. Now it's like a skirt. It means is that it's run out of water. And again, let's try to get, I'm applying a bit more brushes and let's apply even more pressure. Then we will get really, really thick lines. And what you can see is that still hasn't performed its shape. So it means is that it keeps water quite well. Let's see what we will get with our next brushes. This is also imitation of squirrels here, vertical position. Maybe more pressure. I will speed up the video while testing or other brushes from time-to-time command in some points to take in mind, but that is quite meditative or exercise. The exit slides or so, I encourage you also while watching to do this exercise. After applying a heavy pressure, whether they're tip of your brush holds back. So it's also really important so that after pressure, your brush will hold their fine tip. This calligraphy brush or with gold really soft hairs. This, you can see that e.g. with the previous two brushes, I had four second line. I have painted it with the same brush and you can see it's quite smooth and it gives quite well water. But this one, it has already started to give me this dry brush texture. This means is that this brush holds less water than two previous ones. However, you can see that by size this and this as they have quite similar size. My next brush is completely different because this is a synthetic and it's quite hard brush so you can see that it's quite stiff. Let's see how well it absorbs water and which kinds of lines so we can get so it's in this brush keeps her quite well. Water that you can see that here. It's still, we have got quite smooth line next brush. This is also imitation of squirrels hairs. So you can see that this brad holds really, really well water. Next brushes, this is natural hair, Kolinsky sable, and they are quite hard compared to my previous brushes, which were quite soft. You can see that this brush doesn't have a fine tip. It's quite round ones so we don't get the S thin lines as we have managed together with the previous brushes. And my final brush is a synthetic one. It's really hard one first day, it's smaller than previous brushes. And you may think that with being smaller, we will get seen a lines. Let's check this and let's see how well it absorbs water. Here you can see that first thing, that it doesn't have fine tip and it doesn't give really thin line. First thing and second thing, it doesn't hold water because you can see that here. The pain has finished before they're just almost in the middle of the line. And then it was dry brush effect. 6. Watercolor Wash Test: Let's do another desktop for water absorption of horses brushes. And let's see how good they are for making washers. So that is good reader when you are e.g. a. Painting, some background, or you have to fill with color big areas of paper. So just prepare a paper and separate it in eight squares or seven squares. And let's see. My first one is going to be mop brush. So you can see that it holds quite well water and you can create quite smooth wash. What about my second brush? Let's see how it behaves. As you might notice, is that generally it holds less water and it starts to run out of water. My general again, then we have got quite a nice wash. And the things that probably I would take bigger size of this brush, then it will like you will feel that you will have enough. What I have here, a new brush. Let's see, this one. I would say the same. We have got quite nice wash. This brush is going to be interested in to test is that the synthetic one? How well it holds water. Let's see how it will behave. Kolinsky sable for making washes. This brush isn't good for any worse. That is clear. Let's have a look at our washers. And so you can see that mainly the only brush which has completely failed, it was this one that this wash, it's impossible to create any wash with this brush as some more less smooth for me, is there a best one? Is this one which is made with more brush. And actually that's why for better results. For washing is recommended to use mop brush. It holds lots of water, releases gradually and you can get really smooth, beautiful wash. 7. Brush Elasticity Test: Let's check our brushes are for their elasticity, how they are pressure sensitive. I am holding the brush in vertical position. I start with light pressure and then I'm making it heavier, heavier, the whole pressure. And then I start to release it. Meanwhile, lifting my brush. So you can get really big mark. You can make also a bit shorter and smaller. So that is, it will depend how much body of the brush you are going to press and lift. Press, lift. So it could be like this big one depending on the length of their body and also the pressure, which part you're pressing. So this would be, this brush is really good for. You can see that heavy pressure, less pressure, light pressure and egging. Just do this exercise and see how big, how small this, Let's say, leaves you can get with your brushes. Let's check this one. Also, it helps our Winsor brush has a fine point. The whole brush. Then I start to release. Or smaller, bigger and release. Just practice heavy and light brush here and try to dance with your brushes. These brush quite cute shapes. This brush is very soft, so it's very sensitive to the pressure. You can see, you can get a variety of leaves. E.g. this brush, it gives me a really, really thin lines. And I would say like it gives more like spiky one. But when I want to press as a whole body, it receives. So it's not so easy and it's not so soft, e.g. compared to the previous brush. But it's great for getting this kind of leaves, like bamboo leaves. It could be nice to paint with this brush. This brush doesn't have fine tip. It's really rounded. So let's see what we will get. Let's test this is final brush. It doesn't have fine. Deep. Here is our pressure tests of our brushes. And you can see that's a bigger brush. You can get bigger and wider, fresher and for sure like the length of their brush stroke. I think this technique is really great for painting leaves so you can pressure and later it would be useful with a brush mark, so with movement. So this is really great so that you would practice it before. 8. Brush Preassure Test: Let's see how we will change our lives, which it was alive just straight line now, how it will change it if we will add a bit of movement, this part is going to be quite challenging. So let's see. The first thing, what we are going to be, well, we are going up light pressure and when we're going down heavy pressure, light pressure, heavy pressure, light pressure, heavy pressure. You can see it releases so much water when you press going down. So you can get quite nice. But this brush is really impressive that it holds so much water that it's quite challenging. I hear the checker, the pressure even more because there's this brush holds lots of water if you don't release before excess of water, just with some paper towel here, you remove the excess of water and let's see what we will get. No light when you are going up and heavy when you are going down. So here is with lots of water and this is when we have removed one part of water. The same. You can see that this brush holds water while it's getting to the point when it holds enough water and you can play with pressure. It's really perfect to play with this brush from the beginning, I will remove excess of water. So you can see this is a really great, this is calligraphy brush and it's very sensitive to pressure and you can get really beautiful variation of thick and thin lines. This brush, I find it to Steve because when it's really gradually release the pressure. So when you are releasing, you can get really beautiful thin lines, but you have to make an effort, really an effort compared to the previous one. So in order to get their sick align, you can see that this brush holds really well water and I find it, it doesn't have fine tip, so I find it a bit too complicated to get really thin lines. So clearly you can see that this brush doesn't give thin lines. And that's why it's quite complicated to make beautiful contrast, very thin line and seek one. So this brush isn't really good for flexibility. As far as this brush, I think it's the only one with quality because other ones, so they are good brushes but for different purposes. And you can see that I doesn't hold point, that at some point it starts to separate almost immediately. You can see that it's already started for here are two separate resource. It's not really good pressure sensitive. Once you have practice with this lens said how to make with these brushes some leaves. That's what we are going to paint our first, our first class projects. So just practice and play with different, different shapes. Change the pressure all the time. And this time, add movement to your brushstrokes. Just have fun and play route. How flexible in movement? You can play with your brushes and what kind of thick or thin lines you can get with your brushes. 9. Brush Marks Test: And that's a great way to dusty your brushes and what you can get with them. Try to check what they can, which marks as they can leave. So just simple dots, some lines the same. You can know how thick they can be, what else that moving towards you. And also depending on the pressure. And then away from you. The marks already are different. And finally, some marks with some moment. One more thing, what you can hit check that is splitters. How good your brushes in making splatters. This is also a great to know because sometimes not every brush makes it the same. And sometimes you need to know which brushes better to use. I hope you have made many discoveries about your brushes. So for what could be good ones and the ones which you can get really rounded dots or like the ones which have a quite thick and rounded lines, thin lines. So as I say, with a splitter. So the one which gives them more like in one place, all of them or like spread it. So let's move on and put this knowledge into practice. 10. Gestual Brush Marks Test: Welcome to the next lesson. And this is the most exciting, already starts more and more exciting. And it will be about brush marks. What does it mean? Brush marks are actually that when you are using the body of your brush, different parts, different pressure, and also it depends on speed and direction of your brush strokes. Let's see, and let's experiment tells the most typical, it would be like this. Then you can do it vertically. This brush strokes, brush marks that you can try it. What will happen if you will? Don't press really strong and lift quite quickly your brush, then you can hold a bit longer. Now. And all this brush marks, they differ actually. Also you can add some direction. So then you're pressing. You see, just experiment with this. You can create really many different things. E.g. you're pressing and then your aging some woman. So you can do it this way or you can do it the opposite. So also the direction towards yourself or, or outwards. Then you can make some lines and also great. So add some leaves now. And also depending how fast you will move and how strong you will press your brush, you would be able to create different brushstrokes. Pressure lethal in and like this. That dislike those techniques which are used for painting loose style leaves. But actually you can experiment with breast or leisure and see what you can get. Also, you can make foster brushstrokes. And it could be Also e.g. this way towards the center. So just or it could be also this one or in the opposite direction. You can press is a whole body like z is going down. Or you can press only some part. So you can see that your brushstrokes will be different and also the direction up or down. So this is really, really exciting and I suggest you to desde and to see what you can get with your brushes. And one more thing to test your brushes. I think that I find it all so excited. What kind of splitters give your brush first thing that you need to have, puddle of water and color it. And then you can add like this, splitters. Know, it's my way of hitting them with fingers or with the help of another brush or fingers so that you can try to like this, then there would be more random. Or also you can do it just with them. So this is for me is more complicated. So here we can already a water splitters and bolts of fun. I hope that you have got the idea that now we are having finer and discover which brush marks we can create with our brushes and just experiment and enjoy. This is a really exciting and lift as the rest of brushes. Here's my brush number two. And the difference of these brushes that it has a really fine tip. And then you can change the pressure and get smaller ones. You can add the moment. You can add dots. You can add the brush, share your breaths and then lifting. You can add the movement. You can create some really thin line and then do it some leaves. Long one. So this one, e.g. the deep and the results are really flexible and you can control them really well. I really like brush marks as these, this brush. Okay, So then let's see how we will get this effect. Let me add more water. Okay, So here it is, outside. Then. Nice towards me that you can press towards yourself so that also you can squeeze. Great. That is also the way how to create the shapes of flowers. You can add the movement. Actually, there are really many things which you can do, like these ones, To outwards, inwards. So just practice and also the speed. So all these brush marks they are interested just in, let's see which ones you will know which ones that you will discover. Let's see how this brush grades splitters. So it's quite nice. Ingredients, splitters, tiny ones, and beautiful. E.g. if you need big ones here with a bigger brush, you can create bigger splatters. That is also, you know, when you are practicing your brushes. This one is interesting. Let's see what we will be able to create. Which brush marks we can create with this brush. Here. This one's also you can make like outside. You can move, you can add the print and movement and movement, rest and moment and moment. So this is also a way how you can create. Those are the things that it depends on whether your brush allows you to to press it and to move it, because it depends on how flexible are their results. So let's see if the pressure is small with moment. So you can create these ones. This one is quite soft. It's really nice to make soft shapes. This brush, this kind of, you know, sometimes you need this side leaves or moments of this brush is quite nice if you don't control it really well. But when it's like a wizard brush and with the speed, you can create some interesting textures. Now, press several ones. You can create this one. So it's, it's beautiful, the beauty of this brush that you can control, press Control, and then create some interesting textures. And the brushstrokes, which would be different in a degraded brushstrokes, which would be different in size. Let's see how this one's, this brush mark is quite complicated for this brush because it doesn't halt really a lot of water. But you can create some dry brush marks. Here. It will allow you to create some another different e.g. I. Really like this moment as that. You can add some body and you will have already butterfly with just awesome brush marks. Yeah, it's really beautiful. I think this kind of brushstrokes, I would say it's compared to the previous brushes. It gives less letters. So e.g. if you don't need so much and they are in water, you can see that they are quite well defined as ands's brush is great for this amount of splatters. Let's see, this one holds really well water. And you can move and create some interesting textures. This brush is really nice because it holds water really well and you can control the pressure. But the only thing that probably the deep that you need to control it if you want a really thin lines, I think with this one is more complicated because it's soft and it doesn't allow you to create a scene line as the previous brush. Let's see what we can do with Kolinsky sable brush. You can see that it's really rounded and e.g. with this one, I would create the flower outside. Not inside. However, you also can make inside. But here you have to control more the pressure. Then you will get them thinner and smaller. But also that is another point of bigger brushes that you can get bigger petals. If you need, you can get smaller petals. And you don't, with a small brush, you have only this variety. That is, besides that bigger brushes, they hold more water and paint that they also provide you variety of brush marks compared to the small one, small brushes. So this brush gives a quiet, beautiful, big brush marks. But e.g. if you need something very detailed and really thin lines is quite difficult to get because it doesn't have really fine tip. It's it's quite big, e.g. compared to their previous one. And this is small brush and you can see that it has round tip, but actually like e.g. for creating flower. But also I would move it outside rather than inside. As far as this brush, I will say that it's more convenient for dry brush marks rather than on the grid, something like some shapes and petals because it's really limited by size and it doesn't hold water so you won't get a really beautiful brush marks. So with this brush in terms of petals, but you can get beautiful textures. Here are my seven brushes. Experiments are the holes that it has been very useful for you there. I'm really looking forward to see your discoveries about your brushes. So just to take the ones which you have started to experiment, I'm sure that you will have many interesting discoveries which you didn't know that you have. 11. Wild Daisies Project: We are going to paint today, they say using, using brush marks. This way, tasting our brushes. I think it's a great way to get to know. So just with this kind of drop exists and would be nice to introduce more concentrated color. In this case, I remove extra moisture. I take more concentrated color and add somewhere for year four year. Let's add some yellow flower center. Some kind of brown also could be beautiful, dead more contrast. But you can see that e.g. this brush isn't so good for adding tiny amount of paint. So because it keeps a really a lot of water and then you get this kind of water or the color bleeds, let's say legacies. But then e.g. in order to add stem yeses brush, it may give you a quiet, nice same stem. And really beautiful this part. And we can add with another brush, brings some leaves. So here we have our first Daisy. Let's paint another one. Just tear drop shapes for here. And then I add some another color. So here e.g. you can see with this brush, you can add also small amounts of paint. And it will want to make it really like bleed here a bit of brown. Perfect. And some green. I will mix my green with a bit of yellow, so that is going to be warm green. And I will add one more stem probe. So here you can see that you can get really, really thin lines and also variety of different brushstrokes, smaller, bigger ones. And another thing, what you can try as well is to add some grass so they are going to win. And there is some grass. So in our field of daisies. Okay, so here we have these two daisies. This time I will add one more yellow. So you can see that this brush, it doesn't give me a really beautiful this teardrop shape. And for this one, I will add some brown color of brown. It's probably a bit of wildlife. Because the contrast in some parts here, that is that with this brush you can make like z some leaves. And we're going to add one more leaf going over there. We can see which shape it will give us Some, let's add some more grass. You can see that this brush, it adds quite nice dry brush strokes with some texture. This brush is good for creating textures. Does this same yellow. I will add it here. So you can see that when I'm making this, it gives me totally different. Brush marks, is not teardrop brush marks. It's more like. Race, I would say we get different way. That is completely different flower, the same, maybe dark brown and a bit of violet. Here. I add this one. It was, this brush was beautiful in creating long leaves. So I will add some long leaves to my painting here, e.g. we also can add some leaves always different marks to play with pressure and to add different types of leaves, like long ones. Also we can add some darker grass. Okay, next brush. Let's add some violet. I think it also could be nice. Until we can add some yellow center green stem. Then I think it could be nice here to add some kind of Z slips. And then we will practice also with a bit of pressure. And from another side, another one here. And let's add also some pressure. And let's add some more grass. Was this brush. So that is a way how you are testing your brushes and see which brush is better for what? For which purpose. Here I have one more brush. First. I will add awhile it center. And here we can add some more leaves, but you can see that this brush doesn't create so beautiful leaves. And our final brush here. But you can see this one doesn't give a drop shape at all. It just like different shapes. So this one doesn't give any drop shape brush mark. That is great to know. And also it doesn't hold so much water so it doesn't bleed green stem. You can see that this brush doesn't get really thin lines, so our stem is pretty heavy. Hopes that this is fun and easy exercise has helped you to get known better your brushes. Let's have a look at another project where we are going to play with movement. 12. Wild flowers Project: We will paint some florals using this brush mark that I placed brush mark, and then I start to move my brush and then in the opposite direction. And then I drop some other color in the center. It's already looks gorgeous. That is sound while some black. This is Payne's gray, I think. And then let's add some stem. So here we have one flower, the brush with this kind of moments. How do you find this flower? We can draw up some yellow ones, a flower center. Some yellow and probably a bit of brown. I'm sorry. Let's add stem. Like this. We can add some leaves on the breakfast more from another side. And this color is really beautiful. And in the flower center we can mix a bit brown with a bit of violet. And to add some more, we can make another flower. Let's use another brush, fancy. That's how we experiment with different brushes. Let's create these kind of flower petals. So here it is. That I'm moving towards the center. I can draw another color in the middle. Hi bit of brown. Dark brown that these burnt sienna. And a bit more of a dark brown. And you can add even a bit of violet here in the center. Here, gorgeous, gorgeous flower. And then we add a stem. For here. You can add some leaves like this, these kind of leaves until we can drop some darker color so that they won't be so boring. And would have some kind of shade. You can add violet brown here. And we can add some grass. Let's see what we will get rotating this brush. So we can get quite nice flower. We can add some dark blue in the center. The top part. We can add a bit of yellow. What do you think? This looks gorgeous? Green stem and some more grass. I think it's really exciting to paint flowers is this way. And I hope you're enjoying it with me. Let's play something yellow. Here. You can add these kinds of brushstrokes. Bit more of yellow in some areas. You can add a bit of, this is quinacridone rose for some parts, and dark brown in the flower center. You can mix green with different red row scholars. And we'll get off with this one is really beautiful. Let's think that it's also puppy or something. They can add some. Another brush marks. Don't just really, really loose flowers. And I think it could be nice to add some smaller, something smaller like for here that we have covered already everything. So but I think that we are here, we can add some with moment batteries. Let's add something. Just always clean water. I'm just move your brush and see what you can get to play. Let's add a bit of orange, drop of orange in this or yellow. And also it could be nicer, quite a darker shade. So in some areas I drop a bit of violet. So this way, now we will join all these tiny flowers into bigger one. And let's add a stem. Now, you remember that this brush, it wasn't really good for painting thin lines. But anyway, so here we have one more and we can add more grass. Here. We are left with one final brush. I think it could be nice to add something blue. Some tiny flowers. Like forget me not know. Because this brush is really great for painting. Small, for live in small brush marks. So this kind of leaves could be really great idea. That'll send this tiny flowers. You can add a bit of violet in some areas. I think it would be nice to add a bit of pink color. So Canuck we don't arose in some areas. And then with bright green, again, we will add, is this brush also doesn't make really thin lines. But anyway, so this like this. I had some leaves and we can made some are final touch. We can make wet some areas. And guess what? We can add some drops of splitters to make it. If it's too many, you just remove with some. I think that it could be nice also to have some green ones. Really bright green. Yeah, like it's a joy. They have dropped to another places. You just I hope that these projects have helped you to know better your brushes as they are possibilities. Now you have also more ideas. How to experiment with your brushes with brush strokes, brush marks with pressure with more amount. And I do hope that I have transmitted here all the excitement to play with different brushes. And then like all of them, they teach you something.

I do hope that you have enjoyed the process and now you're amazed with the possibilities of your brushes. And if not, now you know how to choose a new brush, It's true that you can paint with any brush. With good brushes, you will paint good. Great brushes are expensive, but they skyrocket your skills and they bring times more joy from the process. If after tasting your brushes, you come up to the conclusion that any of them is suitable for watercolor techniques. You like. Don't rush to buy all brushes at once. Take your time to choose one grid brush. Better to buy middle size six or eight, and see which range of brushstrokes it gives. If you're happy with it, then you can go forward and complemented with smaller or bigger sizes. My advice would be try to change brushes throughout your painting process. This will make your artwork more dynamic and to look more alive. And when you are enjoying, the process actually motivates, inspires you to keep your daily watercolor practice.
