Richeson Hards + fan brush

I find these two things indispensable!  The Richeson Hards and their #6 Grey Matters fan brush are with me when I plein air paint, do demos, or work in my studio.  The hards are used to help me get into tight places or to skim another color lightly over the top of soft pastels.  The brush is used when I initially wash in the darks with denatured alcohol to give a painterly effect.  Sanded paper can quickly destroy a brush and I've found these Richesons to be the most durable on the market.  I often will use them to create grasses at the end of a painting or to emphasize reflections in water...tips I share in my workshops!

The set of 18 hards are $29, and the fan brush is $12, from our shop:  773-458-3205.
