theres much more to the filbert brush strokes, i was impressed with amount of water that theses brushes hold and also amount of pigment/color. very helpful!

[@anaghakhot4245]

Hey, Thankyou so much for guiding with using different brushes & technics. Very basic & easy to observe & learn.😊

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

My pleasure 😊. I am glad this was helpful.

[@ThereIsSoulInArt]

This is very helpful Clarice, especially as a beginner. Thank you for all the knowledge you so willingly share.

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

I'm so happy you think so. Feel like this was worth it then 🤗☺️🌼💙

[@ThereIsSoulInArt]

@@ClariceGomesdesigns I just had to share that I took all my brushes & did a row of different strokes with each brush, much like yours, & it is very helpful for me to refer to it when I'm painting & choosing a brush that may work best for what I am trying to create. Thank you so very much for this idea!

@@ThereIsSoulInArt yasss! I am so glad you did it ☺️

[@cindymccann3753]

Omygosh, ask and you shall receive. I was just wondering about these brushes. Thank you, Clarice!!

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Yay Cindy! This makes me happy to read 👏🤗💙☺️🌸

[@annewatman677]

Thanks for showing a filbert. My favorite for acrylics but never see it used for watercolor. I know it doesn’t hold as much water, but such a nice shape!

[@conniemountainraven2181]

Love your style

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Excellent work👍

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Thanks 😊

[@lindyhawthorne2164]

hours later......and Im still practicing this rotten stroke..... LOL. Im wondering if you twist the brush at all at any stage through the stroke or is just all pressure and no change in brush ?? thanks. sorry to be annoying.

[@lindyhawthorne2164]

I cant believe how difficult that mop brush petal stroke is !!!!!!. The REALLY sad thing is that I used to teach decorative painting with acrylics for 25 yrs and I cant even do this simple watercolour stroke. OMG OMG OMG.....lol

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Lol Lindy! When I first got the brush, I was all - what is this??? 🤣....so keep picking it up and soon you will create magic with it!

[@lindyhawthorne2164]

@@ClariceGomesdesigns ha ha....thanks for the encouragement Clarice. Im practicing all afternoon today. :-)
