Thank you so much 😍😍😍 I actually needed some of these brushes but thought that I can do all kind of things with just a round brush if practiced hard enough 😅

I hear you!! While you *could* just do it all with one brush, sometimes it’s about working smarter instead of harder and just saving yourself some time with the right tools 😉

Wow Margot, I was just reading comments on one of your videos; and I saw where someone asked for this video and here it is!!! I think it's so wonderful how you respond to your community! Thank you for sharing all your talents and sincerely being engaged with your viewers me included.😊❤

There are a couple brushes I frequently use that were not mentioned. Once a person is comfortable with the basics, perhaps investigate and give these a try: quill, dagger (1/4 or 3/8), reservoir (a specialty type of liner), hake (for wetting large areas evenly) and scrubber (for removing or softening).

I am not a super beginner, but I found this video helpful. Your perspective and demonstration was very clear! Thank you!

I have been painting, now becoming professional. Love how you explain and show brush techniques. I have adhd and watched it till the end, thats a gold star for you! 🌟Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙌❤️ subscribed

Very helpful, thank you!

Your teaching style is amazing

Thank you so much for the information that you provided 🙂. For those interested, a serrated flat brush is also known as a comb or a comber brush because of how they look when wet. I think if you have a comb/comber brush then there is probably no need to get a fan brush, unless, of course, you have a very specific use that only a fan can fulfil.

@@Pointebrush Broom 😂😂. I love that!

Wonderful overview. Especially love the demo of each brush and its range of effects. Thank you so much!

I just recently heard about a needlepoint brush. I'd never heard of one of those, or a few of the ones you demonstrated. It's fun to learn about all of the different types of brushes. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you.

So helpful and logical. Love the validation that synthetic brushes have come into their own value with a cruelty-free product with no significant effect on quality. I've been kinda cringing about the poor little squirrels and sables.

Fantastic video. An invaluable resource for this beginner.

Thank you so much Margot! seeing the demonstration really helped me understand how different brushes help you get different effects! I think this will help me so much while painting :)

Sweeping with the fan brush... fun imagery.

Great video. Just getting back into my watercolour I bought Escoda reserve Kalinskiy tajmyr travel brushes and full length brushes back in 2000 1617 and boy has the Pryce increased. Glad I bought it when I did.

Nice reference for what brush might work best. Thanks.

This is a nice and useful video and Thank you.

Hullo Margot, thank you for sharing this basic information on brushes with us. I once went to a workshop for watercolors and the instructor had only 1 brush for the class requirements. Yep a number 12 wide belly brush! I know synthetic brushes have come so far in just the last 15 years! There are several brands but the Mimik brand has several excellent quality lines. I have become a fan of the Princeton Aqua Elite series. I even got my uncle who swore he would never be “fooled” by a synthetic brush! He spent a lot of money on those Kolinsky brushes! I tested him with the Mimik Kolinsky synthetic and he could not say which brush was synthetic or natural hair! Yes I did sand the lettering off before letting him handle them. I have not used all of your brushes in paintings in my career but I have worked in most mediums and I found this video very well done. Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge of brushes with us.

Margot thank you for clarity on basic brushes well explained.

Excellent tutorial, it was simple, succinct with so much information!! Thank you! Brushes and their nuances have always been very difficult to figure out while learning! ✌💜🇨🇦

I looooove aqua elite 🤩🤩 their long round brushes are my absolute favorite

Thank you so much Brilliant teaching style you have. 👏

Thank you! It took me so long to figure out how to consistently get loose tree foliage and was confused why I couldn’t get it with a round brush unless I made my paint very watery. I thought there was something wrong with me! (There might still be 😅) 27:20 makes a very nice cheat sheet

This was extremely helpful and I am going to be using more of my brushes from now on. Thanks so much!

Very good description of all the brushes. I like the second to last of the rounds. It looks like a Princeton Select (blue). It's a short round brush and looks like something I need. Do you know what size it is?

I meant to say … I have been painting for many years 😬!

Great video Margot 😊 I don’t use animal based brushes no matter how good they may be. (Animal cruelty) Princeton brushes I hear are the best synthetic brushes.

@@Pointebrush that’s brilliant to know as I’m about to purchase my first number 8 one 😊

Could you explain the diffrrence in use of these flat brushes: bright, shader and one-stroke (which appears to be longer bristles than most flats).

What do you do if one of your round brushes curls at the tip and you always let it lay flat while drying?

Patty-what are the cat's tongue and deer foot brushes used for? I hear people reference them, but I have been unable to find them in the art store.

A cat's tongue brush is another flat brush variation. It is like a slanted brush but the "slant" is on both sides. It really shines when used for painting flowers - depending on the desired petal shape, the flowers practically paint themselves. A deer foot brush is generally stiffer. It is a variation of the round brush but has a rounded, flat top. It is usually used for stippling effects but it also works great for foliage on trees, etc. Again, neither of these brushes are vital, but they are fun to try out. It is not likely that either of these brushes would be used for an entire painting. When I got mine a year or so ago, I bought them from Amazon because my local Michael's (our only art store in our small city) did not have them, either.
