My Top Painting Tools

This week I thought I'd lift the lid on my TOOLBOX!! I've rummaged around and taken out my top tools that I use when making my work and I share with you WHY I like to use them.
The interesting thing about 'favourite tools' is that people believe if they "...JUST had better quality brushes, or paint... or whatever SHE/HE uses... then my work would be better.... "
Well, for some things like paint, I think you get what you pay for... but what will REALLY make your work better is not really about tools - it's about the WAY you use them. I talk about this too...
Watch the vlog.

Thank you, once again.

[@aliceevans70]

You make loads of sense. Thank you 😁

[@kimprice7115]

Really like your point about being prepared to fail and not being focused on the outcome

[@robfuzz]

the happy accidents (to quote Bob Ross) are what I live for as a painter!

[@angelinamichelle8474]

This video was wonderfully instructional. Ty so much for sharing!!!!!

[@anitaaspforswestin6139]

I really like what you say about the mindset!!!! I will write it down in my sketchbook !❤️

[@harrietschaeffer5594]

What brand of oil sticks do you use? I’ve only been able to find primary colors with black and white.

[@karlabritfeld7104]

Yeah I've done plenty of the fail part. Lol

[@ilenearena9166]

Why 5 coats of gesso???? Never heard of this many coats ? Isn't one enough to grab the paint ? I'm having trouble affording so many supplies ... love your work

[@judywoodsart]

Thanks very much - I'm painting on canvas so I like to get a good thick coat on. With paper one coat would certainly be enough.

[@lindysmith378]

Thanks so much for sharing your favourite painting tools. I'm wondering where you bought your thin/flat brushes - from a hardware store or an art shop?

[@judywoods5059]

Art shop

[@lindysmith378]

@@judywoods5059 thank you.

[@ilenearena9166]

What is the answer ?

[@lindysmith378]

@@ilenearena9166 I think Judy said that she bought them from an art store. I can’t see the answer here but she did reply to me.
