I have wanted to share watercolor tutorials on Substack for quite some time, but I haven't had the chance to do it until now! I'm finally going to start making mini watercolor skillshare posts. It may take me a while to gradually organize everything, so for now, I'll be sharing fun and random art tips. 🧡
Have you ever walked into an art store and felt totally overwhelmed by all the beautiful colors and the vast selection of paints, brushes, and paper? There are so many choices and different price ranges. It’s so tempting to buy and try everything out!
Recently, I had the pleasure of connecting with Golden Maple, an art supply company, who invited me to try out their new watercolor brush set. I love discovering quality and affordable watercolor brushes, especially since I can be picky about my tools. And as a teacher, I always like to look into high quality affordable art supplies to recommend to my students. Good set of quality paints and brushes make a huge difference in developing proper painting habits and create quality work.
After all, the right brush can make a big difference in how the lines look and the consistency of colors appear on paper. But, going into the art store and choosing brushes could get overwhelming. There are many choices with different bristles and price points.
When choosing watercolor brushes, there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure you find the best ones for your needs!
I make this video sharing tips about what to look for in watercolor brushes. Enjoy!
Overall, I focus on how well the brushes perform rather than whether their bristles are synthetic or natural. From my experience, I’ve found that some pricey, name brand brushes don't always perform better than some budget-friendly options.
Now, let’s talk about the Gold Maple watercolor brush set - I do enjoy them a lot. Whether you’re just starting out with watercolor or you’re a seasoned artist, this set is absolutely worth checking out if you're looking for a complete set of high-quality sable brushes.
