You are much more than a great artist, Mr. Pucell - you are truly a great teacher! EVERY video of yours I watch (so far all of them at least once) is a goldmine of valuable insights and instruction!!!

@@CarlPurcellArt You're welcome dear teacher; i live in Burzaco, a neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have painting as a hobby; I've always liked it since I was little, and I found an outlet in it, a hobby, and it's fascinating. I am 66 and since I was little I always liked to draw, if you have an email I will gladly send you one of my drawings; It would be an honor for me. Regards from Argentina

Hi Carl! I just found your channel & am trying to lean to paint landscapes in watercolor & really enjoy your videos. I was trying to find the Richeson Brushes you suggest however, they are a little out of my price range so I was wondering if the Richeson Gray Matter brushes would work?

I have never tried them. But KingArt has a series of round pointed that are not expensive and work great. It is the series 8020 Max round Finesse.
Great demo! Your brush handling is similar to sumi brush painting. These Loew Cornell brushes are my favorites but they have been discontinued! Do you have any recommendations for replacement?

I have always gotten them from Cheap Joe's, however when I went on their web site I couldn't find them. I went to Rex Art and found that they have every size in the ultra round.

@@CarlPurcellArt It appears that Loew-Cornell is part of a business family with KingArt and the KingArt series 9020 is a replacement for the similar numbered Lowe-Cornell brushes. Cheap Joe's is a source of the KIngArt brushes. I really enjoy your demonstrations and recently purchased your DVD from your website. Already have all of your books. Thanks.
very very nice.. but where i will gate your fev. three brushes..in india. Regards.

The brushes only need to hold a lot of water and come to a fine point. Many Chinese watercolor brushes are great to use.
Are any of your paintings for sale?
