[@l_gold3242]

Don't judge me : I had a watercolour fan brush and didn't know how to use it so I just use it as a highlighter brush now 😂🤣

[@saltygen5042]

haha same. except i didnt really use it at all. i thought it was a dud

[@julianafranco6433]

Same here

[@bia_tastic]

That's the same thing I do now 😂

When your paintbrush dies, "I think it had a stroke" #makoficationsquad

im just gonna brush that off my mind-

[@magiwarriors4972]

LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@sentientnpc0]

Me: binge watching art videos. My brain: "how about you start drawing and painting already" Me: starts watching next art vid 😂

[@lionheartandravensoul]

Same!😂

[@artzyfartzy4926]

I Can’t help but think putting together all this info and research about watercolor brushes was A LOT of work. Thanks for putting in the work for us tho👌👍🏻👍🏻this vid had some helpful tips😉

[@Makoccino]

Aww thank you! It means a lot!

[@nanasue4481]

Great video! Thanks. Very helpful indeed!! 🙏🙏🙏🤗

[@catmowmowmowmow]

*wow...* *I am definitely a beginner in EVERY KIND of art, even though I've done it most of my life lol*

[@farahakbar8762]

True!

[@ishitayashipandey1294]

Just the exact video I needed! Thanks!

[@LiyanaDIY]

I was wondering about brushes just yesterday!

[@queeniexhp816]

Congrats

[@bia_tastic]

Anyone who uses the same brushes for each kind of painting.. No only me, okay 😂 Loves ❤️❤️❤️

[@sohinidutta97]

Rabia Abid i do too. I have synthetic brushes tho 😂😂

[@mitsunyari9706]

I only have 2

[@timfrey2358]

I bought two sets on sale years ago, one for watercolor and one for acrylic, but both are cheap and small with no large brushes and the hair falls out a lot, I rarely buy new brushes but I just paint anyway, it just doesn't work exactly how I want sometimes. I can't buy natural hair brushes anyway because it's warm here and we have lots of bugs and I can never keep bugs out of anything with animal fibers (r.i.p. all my sweaters...)

[@Rexaurus]

I dont use my aquarel brushes for anything else because they are so soft. The harder brushes get used for everything.

[@alejandragarcia1403]

Rabia Abid i am a savage that uses the dame brushes for water color and oil painting

[@queeniexhp816]

I haven’t watched the whole video yet but I already know it’s going to be helpful. I haven’t tried watercolor yet and I’ve been thinking about trying it out but I want to know everything about it first 😊

[@jeandreap]

Thanks!! I was looking information and the name of de brushes to buy in english! because i'm a spanish speaker 😅 and your video was perfect!! 🤩

[@shellydraws]

I love these videos you make to give us some art tips! When you show the difference between Watercolour, Gouache and Acrylics. Or when you show the difference between Watercolour pans, tubes and liquids. It helps us a load! Thanks a lot, Mako for being so amazing!

[@Makoccino]

Awww yayyy! ❤

[@fangchick93]

My all purpose watercolour brush is a squirrel round size 10 one by Paul Ruben. I like my other brushes, but I always grab that one for my paintings. It has a lovely point but can hold a ton of water or paint. If I had to choose one brush to use forever, that would the one

[@angelaem205]

Aaaaah brushes.......my mother is an artist so we have lots in the house. I noticed that a good quality brush with nice bristles, a fine tip and a firm wooden handle will reward you in so many ways, that after a while I started thinking their price is actually cheap considering how practical they are...I am a natural hater of synthetic brushes, we don't see eye to eye he he Also if you consider brushes a family, the fan brush would be the punk rock cousin with the tomahawk 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for this crystallization of watercolor brush experience! 🖼🎨👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✨👏🏻

[@Makoccino]

Awww yes! I think it's worth every penny if you get frustration free supplies that will last forever! Haha and I love your comparison 😂

[@mysticdragon9105]

Omg I’ve been needing a tutorial of this I literally have thousands 😂

[@fangchick93]

I have a super fine hogs hair rigger brush that I adore. It has a fine toe that allows for the finest lines and details and after to gets damp it snaps into place so well. I mainly use it for animal hairs and eye shines, or when I want to add very carefully controlled amounts of paint. I got it in a pack of Derwent academy hogs hair watercolour brushes, and it's pretty much the only brush from that pack I use consistently. I generally use waterbrush pens when I paint, but the rigger is used in all my portraits

[@mjpete27]

Very good information for all users who don't know of, or have forgotten what all the brushes are available out there today!

[@lizap16]

This was so much information, put together clearly and simply. I wanted to start painting as a hobby- 33 and never done anything “artsy” before, just wanted to give it a shot, but it seemed so overwhelming. I’ve really loved your videos!

[@haru9769]

I just realized your voice is so comforting

[@chathsvilhou5578]

Thank u this video was really helpful to me as a beginner 😘

[@cindyrroberts]

Thanks for explaining each brush and showing examples. Very helpful!

[@justlilly7653]

I was just asking myself this question last night! Perfect timing to be in my recommend

[@sallysherwood7448]

Excellent detailed and easy to understand explanation. Thank you!

[@brunnerluse]

Excellent. I have a bag full of brushes and I can now go through them with some specific measures of comparison. Thank you.

[@7000bass]

Thanks. Very helpful for us out here with this basic question. The best on KZbin. Also, love the 70,s background music 😉

[@snow_flake655]

The problem is I bought fancy brushes without researching and ruined them. Now that I know how to use them, my mom won't buy me new ones.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

go mow lawns or shovel snow or babysit or walk dogs to earn money then you can buy new ones

[@YourMajesty143]

Some brushes can be restored. There's some videos on how to do it, some require certain products tho.

[@justiceforsparky2423]

you can buy brush reshaper!

[@curiosity_by_nika]

I appreciate how its relatively concise and that you ended the video with the principles you started with 👍

[@Makoccino]

Yayy so glad you liked it!

[@G1manime]

Thank you! I finally bought watercolor brushes and I immediately noticed a difference. The bristles didn't drip the water off. It became glossy instead as if it was holding the water. I also felt more control over the direction, size, and flow of my strokes ^___^ Thanks for all that you're doing!

[@annieblooms]

I'm glad you put put this tutorial - will be very helpful as l paint and buy future brushes! I wish they taught this at school.

[@happybirthday2078]

I use the Talens Watercolor brushes and Action brushes.

[@romypie3725]

Loove your flowers💖🌷 Yesterday I even bought a dragger brush similar to yours to learn how to do them👍😊

[@caitlinhiggins9553]

Thanks mako!

[@Paula-ww7lw]

Thank you soo much! This video is so helpful, I used to draw for many years and recently want to pick up this artistic side of me by learning watercolor.

[@aakritikashyap6222]

Thank you for making this video!! Lots of information. Thank you again ❤

[@astridicegenesiss591]

Thanks Mako! It is really useful and informative for me!

[@laurelevermore1918]

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm just starting out with watercolour and I honestly have no idea what some brushes are for. After watching this, I have a better idea now.

[@markr5312]

just found this video that answers my recent question about brushes. Thank you.

[@GeminiDolly52951]

Thank you so much for explaining the differences in the brushes - I am a beginner watercolor user - This was very helpful.

[@Weissguys6]

You are the perfect teacher!

[@Eowyn4724]

Super helpful! I’m excited to try a fan brush! I will mark this video for watching again!

[@Jenny19Marie]

Your videos are the most helpful to me as a beginner, even more helpful than paid classes. So just saying thank you for your informative and relaxing videos!

[@MaxusFox23]

I recently dusted off a chinese calligraphy set I got years ago and turns out the brushes work pretty nicely with watercolors~ So Mako, I was wondering if you'd like to try calligraphy brushes in one of your videos and give your opinion on them? However, if these brushes' materials conflict with any principles of yours, that's okay too so no pressure.

[@ThunderStruck15]

The biggest difference is that calligraphy brushes do not have snap. They are not made to be bent.

[@siddharthpanchal718]

Very good information. It's so confusing, with so many types of brushes out there. Now you can narrow it down to a few. Thank you.

[@cltinturkey]

Really thorough and clear explanation. Great job!

[@rainbowfox1934]

A wonderfully informative video. Thanks.

[@joannegarcia8095]

I just started painting using watercolor. You are really a big help for me! Thank youuuu ♡

[@birdsiview6845]

My favorite brushes for watercolor are quill mop large and small, filbert, cat tongue and dagger, but i love All Brushes!

[@cheesecake2572]

This was super helpful! I've been looking exactly for this kind of explanation! Haven't read a guide that explained it better than you did. You explained it so thouroughly and concisely I felt I learned so much! Will definitely look out for your other videos. :) Thanks so much for this!

[@moma-b]

Very informative, useful video. Thank you so much for sharing! :)

[@dgmarigarcia923]

Thank you for this video!! Exactly what I need! This is very informative esp for people like me who knows nothing about watercolor and just starting out. Thank you!!

[@LoveYouBeTrue]

Super comprehensive. Thank you!

[@yashny]

Thank you mako. I finally learned what the fan brush is for

[@bluecurlygirl]

Cheers mako! Excellent video. Here was me thinking I HAD to go for natural hair brushes to get the best results but now I know to hold off on that until I get a bit of practice in/decide if this really is something I want to pursue. It's been the price of the natural hair brushes has stopped me from starting so far. Gotta get some shopping done - wahoo! Cheers

[@Makoccino]

Yayy! Nowadays there are sooo many good synthetic brushes! I think only if you are super expert and look for THE brush, you might notice a little tiny difference 😂

You are teaching me so much about brushes. Thx mako! Last year, my winsor and newton watercolor brushes broke sadly because I put them in the water for long periods of time. So then I learned how to use it better. But you really showed me how it works so that is awesome. I saw your Instagram and well and I love it to- you are great! and keep the amazing art work and techniques :)

[@Makoccino]

Aww thank you so much for your support!

[@juliebooker8254]

[@Makoccino]

Yayy glad it was helpful!

[@andreaely1899]

This is a REAAAAALLY good video!!! Thank you!!!

[@Kuemmel234]

I just started out with painting landscapes because of corona to relieve some stress (and it's mighty amazing). Basically still using a cheap watercolour set for school but got a few quality brushes. I think one can use those really cheap flat brushes for school-use kind of as a rake and for mixing colors (flat, pig hair, I think? Very hard bristles, I use them for acrylics).

[@aimenfatima4295]

Thanks for the information Great video thanks 😊

[@saletap3947]

This video is very handy so nice since I have like 30 brushes and different sizes

[@brokeartist1238]

You can use a fan brush?! Who knew! Thanks for the tips

[@sach02]

Hi, so should we use separate round brushes for acrylic and water colour painting? Thanks for the wonderful video

[@jafferjaffer4890]

Thanks for giving this knowledge about pencils
