My Top Favorite Watercolor Brushes - Plus a brand new favorite, and a few others!

If you have tried a new brush and loved it, tell us about it in the comments.

For base washes, rewetting an area or to gently lift colour I use a Goat Hake. I used to have problems with streaky sky washes or paint lifting when I rewetted, but not any more. The Goat Hake has been the best addition I’ve made to my brush collection and I use all the time.

I wish you'd have printed the name of the brush or restated them. This was very helpful, but I missed the name of the first brush. So helpful though. Much appreciated.

Can you tell me the name and brand of the funny rigger you showed?

I’m thankful I found you! Would you ever consider keeping your reference picture on screen as you work? I really think it would help us see what you are referring to as you shade. Such great teaching! Thank you.

Becky, did you say Spokane?

Thanks so much.

Thank you for this beautiful video ❤ From Quebec, Canada 🍁

Thanks for this. I'm just starting watercolor and picking brushes is making me extra neurotic! Finding a good brush for any medium can be very personal, but it's also expensive to go in blind, so every demonstration helps a lot!

Loving your demos. Where did you get your palette? Love the big wells and big mixing space.

Hi Becky - I love this episode about your favorite watercolor brushes and I'm interested in investing in your favorite quillbrush but the link under the video is broken. Can you help?

Great review demo. So helpful. But I'm not seeing the link to shop for your signature brush set below the video. Also not seeing one for the brushes with the 3-5 prongs for painting pine needles, etc. Not sure you mentioned what those are called so we know how to search for them.

Thank you!
