Some of my good W/Ns are 30 years old, holding up but showing their age just a little. The new ones didn't seem to have the spring I was used to. I tried some synthetics but never really got used to the feel. This Rosemary and Co W/C sable #7 felt right away like a beloved old friend. : ) I ordered a couple of smaller brushes too. Nice points, good spring, good 'belly'. (feeling as if I'm talking 'brush yoga' here, LOL!)Kathy G.On Dec 3, 2013, at 9:48 PM, Karen Ackoff wrote:Thanks, All. I'll have to give them a try. I currently either use W&N or brushes from Cornelissen & Sons in London. I like the detail brushes, with a shorter bristle length. Holds less paint, but I get great control.KOn Dec 3, 2013, at 8:10 PM, Bruce Bartrug <[log in to unmask]> wrote:There are quite a variety of brushes that Rosemary mounts -- google her catalog.

Wondering...They are totally amazing brushes. Can't wait to have some additional spare cash hanging around waiting to be spent.

I am very appreciative to whoever it was that recommended them. I think they're wonderful, and gratifyingly reasonable enough in price to recommend to my students. Quick shipping too!
