Which WATERCOLOR BRUSHES Do I Need? (My 10 Favorite Brushes)

Which watercolor brushes do I need? I bet you've asked that question, so here are my 10 favorite brushes.

Every artist will have their set of 'go-to' brushes, these are just mine, and the list will never be complete. Whilst these brushes are the main ones I use, occasionally I will try out a new technique or style. For that I may use a different brush, or often, as you may already know, I'll make my own! I hate waste, and spending money for the sake of it, so if I can make the type of brush I want, from something I already have, I will do just that.

This video even shows how I made 5 unique brushes from 5 brushes that cost me just 50p: https://bit.ly/2VL20CW
