Brushes
My two instructors recommended Robert Simmons Signet bristle filbert brushes, which I have been using for the most part. I like the way they hold and manipulate paint, but the bristles start to splay out after about 3 paintings and I am constrantly replacing them.
I also use the da vinci brushes, the series 1845 black sables are wonderful. I've had some of mine for years. They are still luscious and thick and a joy to paint with. I also use the da vinci maestro bristle brushes and like them. I also have some da vinci series 1865 brushes, they are also wonderful, I'm just not sure what they are. I'm guessing some kind of sable. The da vinci's are made in Germany.
In a pinch I use I've used some Grumbacher filberts that I've had a long time, they have held up very well.
After reading the helpful info on this post, I'm going to get away from my Robert Simmons brushes and experiment with some others.
