"Here is a little bit about brushes that you need to know. As far as watercolors go, you want some softer brushes because it's going to hold the water and the paint and if you have some hard brushes it's not going to hold very much of the paint. So you're going to constantly going to need to be putting paint on your brush. Try to get some softer brushes and get a variety of sizes so that you can fill in the general area that you're painting in with a larger brush, then you can do the details with a smaller brush. So maybe a large medium and a small brush would be great to have and then also as far as natural hair and synthetic hair brushes, it's really up to you. The natural hairs are really beautiful but do sort of check your brushes before you buy them. I want to show you here are some of the brushes that I'm going to be using and when you're buying them sort of take your finger and pull up with them. Make sure that the hairs are not falling out because some of the less expensive brushes are made very well and the hair starts falling out and they get stuck in your paintings, that's not good. So make sure that you get some nice brushes and you'll be much happier with your painting."
