Favorite Products

Escoda Reserva Kolinsky sable brushes and my all time favourite brushes for watercolor work, both traditional and commercial. My go-to's are #3 and #4, as the provide the best water retention and precision for the fine decorative botanicals that I specialize in.

Escoda Versatil synthetic sable brushes, including the the black leather 3-brush travel set. The best imitation of sable synthetic I've found, exceptional quality and performance, for a very reasonable price. In addition, I love Versatil synthetics for all my acrylic and gouache work as they provide more "spring" / resistance compared to traditional sable, which is important for fine decorative strokes I often use in my decorative illustrations.

Escoda Perla, for a large scale watercolor work, including animals, portraits and landscapes.
