Artmaster Pearl Watercolour Brushes
……..was lost yesterday, somewhere between using it in the Cafe, and the store checkout, in Waitrose. It wasn’t in the best condition, most of the handle had splintered and worn down to the bare wood, BUT the brush had worn to a great point, I knew its “foibles”, and it had accompanied me on many sketching expeditions over the last year…….I’m hoping it will be found……..
……..the top sketch here is Winsor & Newton watercolour, drawn (crudely !) with a Uniball “eye” pen, Orange ink. The lower one is W & N Gouache, painted freehand, lettering in Staedtler pigment liner, 0.3. Painted on the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

it hasn’t turned up yet ! I’m not sure my cat would let me use his tail as a paintbrush,but he would happily catch me a squirrel (really!) Hope you can reconnect 🙂 best wishes, V

Ode indeed ! You are right, “waaaaaaah” I want to squeal, and it was just a scrappy thing ! You’ve made me smile now 🙂

It clearly is an old friend, scrappy and beaten up, making it something to really miss!
PS. Go ahead and squeal! It’s worth the moment of noise! And sometimes it’s the only right response! just sayin’!

“lets push the boat out”? I don’t know the expression, but I’m pretty sure I NEED to know it!
