I wish I’d tried this years ago. But it’s never too late to start!

Sometimes you have to stop thinking and just go where your heart leads you. Start painting whenever you can. There are no rules. You can still be whoever you want to be. Feel things you’ve never felt before. Meet people who see things differently from you. Live a life you’re proud to live. Never be afraid to start again.
Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
