[Aquanet] Brushes

[Annette Compton]

I've demonstrated at Jerry's Art of the Carolinas for five years with  
Richeson brushes. I can't say enough about the quality of them. Both  
their acrylic line and their Kolinsky line are extremely good value  
for the price. The Richeson Signature 9000 is a wonderful entry level  
brush with a nice spring. I find acrylic blends are often great for  
beginners. As hand-control increases, sables offer the sensuality and  
the flow many of us really love.

Isabey Kolinskys are still my favorites which is distributed by  
Savoir Faire who also distribute Raphael. I cherish three sizes of  
6227Z's that I use daily.

I think investing in a good brush is still the most wonderful thing a  
watercolorist can do for herself. Glad to hear you are doing that!

I'm eager to try some of the other suggestions.
