I have enough to build a small condominium. I don’t know why other than I like them. I like touching them. I like the different textures. They are my friends, and I need them! hehe. I actively use about ten of them, but only one to five at a time on a painting, and I keep them for many years in good shape. I think I’m afraid of running out of brushes in this lifetime, but it may take me two to go through them. I love my brushes! I’m going to go pet them now. They miss me!

There’s something about a brand new, pristine brush, something tempting… all the potential. I was seduced by a long-hair filbert last time I was in an art supply store…!

For a moment I thought about counting them – it would take far too long. If I did count them would I include the less conventional items – toothbrushes, twigs – then what about my sponges and blending sticks??? Need to lie down now!!

Yousser Tina! and i also have a quest for the perfect round mop type to use in oils…only seems they exist for water colors…LOVE them for dry brushing! Also search for and try multiple script brushes for the fine detail i sometimes do….Oh, can’t say how much i treasure my brushes!

it seems I never throw a brush away…..sometimes the scraggly ones are just perfect for what I want to do.
