Watercolour brushes. I won some credit to spend in the SAA shop last year and thought it would be a good opportunity to buy a decent brush or two. I bought a couple, but sent them back because I wasn’t happy with the points. The SAA shop sells watercolour brushes from Da Vinci, Daler-Rowney, Winsor & Newton and their own SAA brushes. I would be interested to know what your main watercolour round brush is and the one thing you like most about it, particularly if it is from one of the above manufacturers. Kind regards.

Hi Paul, love, love, love this, so bright and cheery, love the angle as well of looking down past the rocks and on into the village as you mentioned in your write up on it

Hey just noticed it is from pmp website well done Paul, it's a really useful site isn't it!

No fuss, obviously painted from the heart. I use Da Vincis (Maestro series 10) and I also have a few Rowney Dianas (sizes 10 and 12). Very happy with both makes.

Thanks Ros and Kim for commenting. Glad you both like it. Ros - Yes PMP is very useful and seen a number of POL painters join recently. Kim - Thanks for brush info. Sables are not cheap and would be taking pot luck without any feedback from others, so thanks again.

http://paintmyphoto.ning.com/photo/simons-photo-croatia-1481 I homed in on this cropped section of Robyn Lovelocks great photo on PaintMyPhoto, because I thought it contained enough interest to make a decent painting and because I thought I could create a zigzag composition that would lead you from the rocks to the quay, up the street and across the top of the painting. It was also an excuse to make a feature of the sea and rocks for the first time. Comments re improvements welcomed. Please also see question below which I have posted in the forum. Thanks again
