While working with watercolour I have experimented with some brushes.
I have found out that a Sable brush do not leave marks on the paper and the paint keeps its transparency while a mixed of synthetic and sable does not make justice to the transparency.
I am animal friendly and I feel very difficult to let go my Sable. I have had them for more than 10 years and I should not have to replace them since i look after them very well.

I've got a fair few art books, and have sold or given away rather more - thing is, I read them once, and have hardly looked at most of them since (some of course are reference works, so are dipped into frequently - as the paint stains testify); all that means, I think, is that it's a good idea to be discriminating in your purchases - nobody really needs a book that tells you what you already know. Rarely buy DVDs, either - I don't really know why, because I always enjoy watching those given to me; and they take up a lot less space than books. Or - mags: I have hundreds of art magazines, and gave up trying to store them in any kind of logical order long ago.... In fact, I want to get rid of them (to make space for more, of course...) - for anyone within easy reach of me, they're FREE!!!
