Interesting to see George Mackintosh Patrick's name up there Paul. About thirty years ago I became friendly with a descendent of his who lived in Somerset. He had been bequeathed this famous artists watercolour brushes and what really surprised me was the fact that the handles of all his sable brushes were goose Quills. I actually used these brushes on a couple of occasions and they were excellent. The sable still pointed beautifully after what must have been the best part of a century or more of use.

Thank you George for sharing your experience. I only know of his work through researching for this thread so it’s all new to me.
Would you like to do the introduction to his work , I think that would be very fitting . It doesn’t need a great preamble just name dob and a little background, I would only be getting the info from the internet. It must seem strange have held and used such old brushes .

Quarrel with me if you will - I'll take it personally, mind, and sulk - the Battershill painting Alan Bickley posted on page 1 of this thread is, for me, the perfect oil painting; the others are blissfully good as well, but that one, of all of them, does not have a brushmark out of place, is beautifully painted with a sensitive palette, has texture, composition - everything. All that I most treasure in Norman Battershill.
