Donkey

Lovely

This looks smashing Malcolm, the colours look gorgeous. I haven't tried Brusho but it seems it takes a lot of getting used to.

Thank you Karen and Margaret. Margaret, Brusho is very simple, easy and quick to use but... you do need to be aware that 'less is more's both with the paint and water. It's very easy to add too much of either and then either panic to blot up surplus water or s it and watch a slow motion car crash. That said, Brusho is a watercolour and you can 're-activate' it if you feel that you had not put enough water on in the first place. You can also dilute it on a palette and use as normal pain t if you don't want to mix on the paper.

Lovely donkey, Malcolm, and the colours are gorgeous. (I have heard, though, from several people who've used it that Brusho colours are not lightfast and often fade over time.)

Yes, Jenny, I heard that as well. The product is very reasonably priced for the intensity of colour achieved, which would suggest that, compared to other mediums where you pay a premium for lighfastness, this may be the case. The packaging says that it is lightfast but doesn't give any figures. Most of my work stays in a portfolio, out of the light, but I intend to put a 'failed' painting in full sun to see if it does fade.

I just love brusho and it’s great to see someone else using it. Lovely.
