BRUSHING UP


Do you remember when we had relatives that dutifully presented us with our materials either at Christmas or on our birthdays?

 

Familiar names even now… Daler, Rowney, Windsor & Newton and Reeves.

Each gift a treasured possession. And we thought at the time hugely expensive. 


Most of these brands have now been snapped up by a holding company in France carrying the name ‘Windsor and Newton’

 

Ordering your paint brushes now? for example, the names are a much more exotic…

And my personal favourite....

It must have six weeks ago when a tutor had us make our own brushes. 



My Brush Set 

Sarah Lees had us scouring the campus looking for anything which we could possibly press into service to create a 'brush' and make a mark. And the results were beautiful. 

 

I’ve kept mine and I use them for their unique lines and shapes. 


Diolch Sarah.
