Meticulously designed short-handle brushes with double-crimped ferrules, offering maximum water capacity, spring and predictable slow release for watercolour and mixed media

I know what it is like to strive for professional results at a premium price. That is why I offer Sable Designer Blends. They are designed to have a FULL belly ( for maximum water/paint hold) and a long, fine tip for a predictable, slow release and lasting stroke in watercolour and are an exquisite professional grade watercolour brush without the pricetag of pure sable.

The Ivory Brushes
are coarse nylon (similar the rigidity of a hogs hair, but fine and clean like a nylon). These are ideal for use with Oil, Acrylic and an EXCELLENT choice for special effects and use with masking fluid for watercolourists!

EACH BRUSH is a short handled , black lacquered finish with a DOUBLE crimped ferrule, so the tops will NEVER fall off. My loyal clients have bought multiple brushes for themselves and to give away to friends.

As a professional artist, I know that a good brush is an essential tool
in creating masterful & meaningful, predictable strokes.
