Looking up

Today I went back to an old favorite. My Winsor Newton Series 7 brush has been in my painting kit for years. It’s handmade from Kolinsky sable and the reason I love it is that it holds so much paint. So I can mix up two different washes and dip the brush into both of them. And then depending on the pressure I use I can get thin lines or thick strokes and vary the colour from the washes hidden in the brush. There aren’t many brushes that can do this…
