Description

What are the qualities that make a brush perfect for watercolor? Ink? Gouache? What's the deal with the hair from that little kolinsky animal and why is it so costly? Are brushes made from synthetic filaments as good (or better) than those made with natural hair?

Join David Pyle, along with special brush-making expert guests, Marla Morrison and Samantha Adkins (from the Winsor + Newton brush making team), as we answer all your questions about these essential tools.

uses his background in art and chemistry to tell stories of the Western landscape with paint and pencil. With that intersection of art and science, he worked for Winsor & Newton and Liquitex, and subsequently with The Artist’s Magazine and American Artist Magazine.

She has worked as a teaching artist for Winsor & Newton and Liquitex for the past 21 years. Marla is inspired by a variety of creative media and strives to convey beauty via color, design, and the physical properties of resin or paint.
