QUOTE FROM THE MASTERS

“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.“

— Leonardo da Vinci

TODAY’S RECOMMENDATIONS

These have great pigmentation and are easy to blend. Vibrant colors too! Great value for the price.

These brushes are not too soft and have a bounce to them. A lot of brushes and includes a palette knife. The wrap is a little cheap but other than that these are very durable brushes.

Cheaper canvas alternative.
