Recently I have spent a small fortune on brushes and paints.
And I'm finding that they are rubbish!!
Here are five issues that annoyed me today:
Above: Two small brushes: same brand, same age (new!). The brush on the left is already dog-eared after one painting!
Two medium brushes: left one is clumping, right one is behaving.
Both cleaned the same way. Both new, used for only one painting so far.
Large tube of paint, two paintings. Already cracked, causing leakage. I need to use a bandaid!
Just a personal preference: I dislike wide openings on tubes.
And finally, oil paint that had leaked its linseed oil while in transit or on the shop floor, causing the paint to become dried out and too hard to use.
