Rosemary & Co brushes
These are beautiful brushes - they have great spring and each
one is balanced perfectly for a great painting experience!
Essentials:
Ivory Long Flats, sizes 5 and 8 - long handle
(for blocking in)
Eclipse Short Flats, sizes 4 and 6 - long handle
(love the marks made by these!)
Pointed Sable Mix, size 4
(for fine finishing details)
I also recommend the Evergreen line, and the Golden Synthetic flats
are great if you would like something with a softer touch.
