Southern France Civilized Painting Adventure How to use this blog.
Welcome to our very own painting adventure blog! I thought it would be a great way for us all to keep in touch and post information about our trip. The plan is to keep a trip diary of our daily travels so be sure to pass along the url http://www.2010paintfrance.blogspot.com/ to your friends and family.
The posts are arranged from the most recent to the oldest, so you may need to scroll through to find what you are looking for, or use the "Blog Archive" posted in a box to the right. You will also find a directory of related web sites on the right. If you have a web site of your own, please send it to me and I will add it to the list.
This is your blog too, so feel free to post your questions, comments or just say hello! You can do this by clicking just below on "comment".
Brushing Up On Brushes
I will take along a minimum number of brushes. Fewer to carry/fewer to lose - I have also marked my name on the handles.
Best not to bring along expensive sable brushes. Of course, you may bring your favorite selection of styles and sizes.
My kit includes, from left to right:
- A #2 or 4 rigger or signature brush
- 1.5" flat wash brush (Loew-Cornell Skywash 7750 or Robert Simmons Skyflow)
- 1" flat skyflow ((Loew-Cornell Skywash 7750 or Robert Simmons Skyflow)
- A small stiff craft brush for spatters and lifting
- Round brushes - sizes 14, 12 or 10 - your choice of size, but go for bigger, rather than tiny.
- One or two 1" badger type brush. (Kemp Badger or a Skipper from Cheap Joe's Art Stuff) *If you can not find a Badger brush you can purchase one from me and I will mail it out to you before the trip.
How to carry your brushes
This particular brush caddy, shown in the picture above, came from the drugstore rather than the art store. It is intended for make-up brushes, but I like it because it is much smaller and lighter. A rolled bamboo place mat works well too and allows your brushes to air dry.
