The other weekend my husband and i visited Ann Arbor,which we often do. We love the atmosphere and the shops of this diverse University of Michigan town. Well, I bought two new sable WN brushes and let me tell you what a different experience painting has been. The brushes hold an incredible amount of water OR paint depending how you use them. So being playful and loving process more than anything i play and play. Seriously wonderful brushes.

Oh Cathy, I know what your saying about the WN brushes.. are they not the best? I bought my first one 20 years ago a #8 and still have it. and still use it. It lost its point finally and just recently got another. but they will last almost a lifetime.. so expensive but so worth it.. Like you as soon as I had that brush I knew it was magic. ! BJ
I just love your colors Cathy and the way you use them with no fear.
I have several sable oil painting brushes and I love them! There are beautiful colors in this little sketch!
Glad you're having fun with them! xx
Mmmm, Ann Arbor. When are we going to meet there?
It's so cool to hear that your art is enhanced by these brushes. My dad and brothers have always said what a difference good brushes make in the other kind of painting. It certainly makes sense.
And seriously wonderful results. Love this watery, pigment-rich, close up.
Are you familiar with the watercolor florals of Emil Nolde? They are my absolute favorite (and hard to find online, but you will see a few) and your style often evokes him for me.
Hi Cathy, love your colors and the "abstract" in your previous post. I just bought new brushes too, sable, and I love them!!!
This is so beautiful! The colours you choose are stunning - always!
I have one sable brush which I LOVE!
