Silver Black Velvet Watercolour Brush

At last I was able to come up with my first painting using my new watercolour brush! It had to be something with enough detail and fine lines to evaluate its performance.

Viridian + Rose Madder

The Silver Black Velvet (affiliate link) brushes are made from a blend of squirrel hair and a new type of synthetic filament, making them the perfect water-based paint brushes; durability and spring of a synthetic brush, as well as liquid holding capacity of a squirrel mop.
I have the size 6 round brush because I work mostly small size paintings.

For Comparison

Thank you for recommending this brush to me!  I will definitely purchase a couple more of these "gems".
Also, thank you very much to those who use my affiliate links.

Spring At Home

My dear friends, I hope you are well wherever in the world you are.  Here, spring advances with warmth one day and retreats the next.  Today rain is falling gently; each drop like a warm kiss reviving a healthy glow every leaf has longed to see return.  It transforms desolate woodlands to glossy deep hues of greens, browns, peachy pinks and transparent blues.

Quiet activities fill my days … reading, painting, baking, …

"Spring drew on … and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps."
