A New kind of Watercolour Brush & A Game Changer from Rosemary & Co Brushes, with a Real-Time Demo

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

Finally someone actually painting with these brushes. I went through 20 different Rosemary & Co reviews. Everyone showing them but no one actually using them. Thank you for showing it in action. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@paulappswildlifeart]

sorry for a late reply, I use them totally, cheers P

So glad to discover your channel coming back to painting after a while. I used Rosemary's synthetics for ages and was please to discover a set of 344s unopened. As a life long vegetarian I have always used synthetic brushes. Paper and paint were other things I had to search for. Thanks for spreading the love

[@paulappswildlifeart]

That’s cool thank you, so sorry for my very late reply, cheers P

[@JorjaZanetta]

I bought my first Rosemary & Co a couple of days ago...I can't wait to try them!🇦🇷

[@paulappswildlifeart]

You’ll not regret the decision, cheers P

[@sarahmiller6183]

Love the history with the artwork.

[@paulappswildlifeart]

That’s very kind thank you

[@melbendigo]

Thank you for this demo! I'm planning to get some Rosemary brushes and this helps a lot. Just to share, in my experience, for lifting, Mimik brushes are the best by miles, even better than sable. They pick up paint like a vacuum cleaner. They don't want to put color down, so I don't use them for painting very often, but they lift like a magic eraser! I keep a set of Mimik brushes in different sizes solely for lifting.

Thanks. GREAT information! Will search for red dot Rosemary brushes!

[@liandrehawkes5068]

Thank you for this. Enjoyed!

[@AmandaMG6]

I ordered a rack of them. I can’t wait to get them in my hands ☺️ thx!

[@paulappswildlifeart]

Hope you added my small affiliate link in your order lol with that many I might be able to retire Amanda

[@sarahl9652]

I really enjoyed this video 🙂

[@paulappswildlifeart]

Many thanks Sarah

[@GONZOFAM7]

I'll try a couple. They may replace my smaller Princeton Heritage brushes that I love.

[@paulappswildlifeart]

well worth the weight in gold, cheers P if you do please add PAULAPPS in the affiliate link upon checkout, you pay no more but it helps me, cheers P

[@eternalfizzer]

What about the tower?! ;-) Really pretty demo. I like how the shrubbery worked wet melds, but still hints at its complexity. I'm adding some quality synthetic brushes to my Christmas list :-)

[@tomshepherdartist]

Great stuff Paul...so funny, was literally thinking couple days back as to whether Rosemary makes synthetic wc brushes :)

[@paulappswildlifeart]

She does and they are good, chum

[@Asouthernrrose]

Love this demo. Please share the sizes of brushes she sent you to demo.

[@dsmith9572]

Nylon seems not to hold up as well as sable. So it's been 3 years, how are the red-dots holding up?

[@dsmith9572]

Banjo music to open! Brushes must be good!

[@lindathaxton1994]

Thank you

[@TristanChaika]

Thanks for this review! I have high hopes for these brushes. I use small rounds like sizes 0 to 3, and the biggest issue I have with synthetic brushes is that after a few hours or days of painting the points can start to curl and form a permanent hook. For what I do, a very sharp tip is necessary. As a Rosemary & Co fan, I’m really curious to see how the tips of these Red Dots fare over time. Now that it has been a few months, do you have any insight as to how they hold up?

[@paulappswildlifeart]

So sorry for this very late reply . They are doing well and used a large amount of each week. If i get any brush curling I simply dip the hair only in newly boiled water few seconds then straighten out. No further as the glue on the Ferrell will give way, cheers P

[@connieebinger6343]

Thank you for the demo! Make comparisons

[@felicitycrowe6971]

Nice review

[@paulappswildlifeart]

Thank you Felicity very kind, cheers P

[@AbraCassandraCrafts]

I've bought a ton of the brushes from the Golden Synthetic rosemary line. Loving them but I'm a noob at this hobby so I don't know much about brushes anyways lol

[@moonlightandlove]

Thanks for the review, nice to see an experience artist use brushes. I love Sable over any other, but not always ideal if you have hard pans, especially W&N pans. I was not so keen on the One stroke flat brush, I have tried several synthetic and didnt like them.

[@paulappswildlifeart]

Glad that it help you, cheers P

[@mickl3073]

Red Dot Brushes reviewed. thanks

[@paulappswildlifeart]

I hope you like them cheers Paul

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

I love how the brushes work & the painting is gorgeous but you have got me wondering about the focus of the tower. It’s not painted.

[@paulappswildlifeart]

Oops Colleen it seems that I missed that one . Another video ink and wash of the scene from higher up is due soon the tower is there , cheers P

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

@@paulappswildlifeart Thanks ☺️ I am looking forward to it.

[@garymcguire8529]

I prefer synthetic anyway, but it seems odd that 2 tree living animals, the Sable and Squirrel end up being used for watercolour brushes. While 4 water living animals, the Beaver, Coypu, Muskrat and Mink, were popular with the fur trade and being made into coats. I have never seen these animal furs used in paint brushes? The Sable became extinct in Europe in the 1930's, due to trapping and now only survives in Russia. As far as I know it was never farmed for its fur, unlike the Mink, Coypu and Muskrat. All of which are now wide spread in Europe, having fallen out of fashion and farming! It is interesting to note, that it was hard to sell Muskrat and Coypu fur coats, so they changed the name of the fur to Musquash and Nutria, as that sounds better than rat skin coats.

[@paulappswildlifeart]

Some nice and interesting info Gary thank you, p

[@MoiAussie1]

Maybe the aquatic animal fur repels water rather than holding it.

[@eileengoldenberg270]

Too bad you didn’t get the brushes in frame..

[@paulappswildlifeart]

Point taken, sadly I didnt and had to go with what I had, next time i will take a wider shot. ope it didn't cause too much annoyance, cheers Paul

[@sandrajones3455]

Would have been nice to see it. Totally off camera at the beginning

[@paulappswildlifeart]

I get that sometimes thing don't go quite to plan, but for the most part . Cheers P
