The hair going crazy after cleaning with soap and water used to drive me nuts but not any more after I start using Safflower oil for storing.

Andrew Tischler uses the Dagger Brush alot. And i like it too. Its like having multible brush poperties in one brush.

I found the dagger brushes to be far more useful to paint lines than liners. They provide so much more accuracy and stability! Also I can't get enough of the Rosemary Eclipse synthetics. They feel amazing and are so easy to clean.

Can you make a video where you show your favourite paints, mediums, canvases and cardboards? Or a video about the best and worst oil painting products. It would be great, thanks.

Hi Florent! Funny when you said "I have no idea why I bought this one." :D

Nice video. I use daggers and angle shaders all the time. They are great for geometric work and tight spaces.

Thank you for your art and videos, Florent! Could you please talk about brush care and maintenance in a dedicated video for everyone?

Referring to your brushes as " generals and foot soldiers" your so adorable! On the dagger brush, IAM a landscape painter, I find it useful for tree leaves . Thank you for your videos. I love watching all of them.

This was interesting. Thank you. I also have some brushes I don't use, and don't really know how to use. And because I started in acrylic, moved to watercolor, and now to oils, I have accumulated so many for the different uses. I would like you to show us how you clean your oil brushes; that's always a challenge for me. You're always inspiring. Thanks!

merci infiniment Florent

Thank you for this... much appreciated 👍🏼💜✌🏼💫😊

Thank you for an interesting video. I bought cheaper brushes when I started out before I knew what kind I actually liked to use, the cheap brushes I should chuck out as they are useless, but I keep them to let my grand children paint with lol. I paint n acrylic mostly but have dabbled in oils, I'm still learning to paint in oils. I learn loads from watching you. I've not really established my favourites in oil painting yet but for my acrylic painting I love using my art Sherpa cats tongue (mostly my size 4)(available in jacksons art) I've heard they are also good for painting with oils. I've yet to test that theory though but I can see how they would be good for oils too. My next favourite brushes are filbert brushes, I currently own daler rowney both system 3 and graduate as well as galeria filberts, good brushes to use.

You are my favorite brush ^.^ 🌹

Useful info, thanks

I have just about every brush imaginable and I keep playing with them for different affects. I suspect that as I get proficient, I'll settle on a few that best meet my needs. Happily, most of the different types are available at relatively low cost. I need to check your past videos. It would be great to see how you use your favorite brushes in a painting demonstration.

Very informative video.... thanks for explaining

Really informative and helps a lot im new to real Painting bc i did digital Painting when i was younger, thx a lot for sharing, sorry for the bad englishky cheers Flaurent

Did I see Isabey? Love their brushes! They withstand work and abuse.

I've only recently found your channel, and love it. Subscribed after watching a few, then searched to see if you had one on brushes. Would you consider re-doing one on brushes and describing how you use each one, along with what type of bristles each has? The fan brush, for instance, looks like it might be badger, but you didn't say. You did say on some of the others. I love filberts and use them the most. Primarily soft synthetic bristles. I dislike hog bristle brushes, but know they're standard for oil paint and I'm not sure why. A round hog bristle seems useless to me. How would you have much control, or is there some other use for them I'm missing? Used to have some bright and flat badger brushes I loved but they went to brush heaven long ago and now I can't find them anywhere.

The dagger can be used for hroad (ish!) strokes or detail with the tip. Check out Andrew Tischler demonstrating his 'Tisch dagger' produced by Rosemary and Co 😎

Florent, i’m having a problem with my brushes wearing down too fast, and I mean within two or three months noticeably wearing down. I use rosemary brushes their bristle filberts. I use masterpiece classic cotton canvases. The only thing I can think of is the canvas when I paint on it it sounds like I’m rubbing on sandpaper. I’m thinking I need to gesso these canvases two or three times ! what do you think?

I feel better about all the many brushes I own now!

I PERSONALLY THINK THAT ROSEMARY&CO. MAKED THE BEST BRUSHES. BRANDS LIKE DA VINCI AND RAPHAEL ALSO MAKE GOOD BRUSHES TOO.

Bonsoir Florent, Vos peinture sont sublime je suis fan !!!! Si vous pouvez m'aider? J'ai fait une peinture à l'huile pour une cliente "Impasto"....Est-ce que après 6 semaines je peux appliquer un vernis quelconque .....vernis à retoucher? je sais pas ! je sais qu'il faut attendre de 6 à 12 mois pour appliquer un vernis mais après 6 semaines j'aimerai appliquer quelque chose pour unifier la brillance ! Merci d'avance !

I use a lot of different flats. Like you I bought a dagger because I saw it used on some video but I can't find a practical use :D The use of brushes is a very personal thing and evolves while you learn the gestures of applying colors, so I guess it's really different from one to another (lol at cultura brush if I saw it correctly :D)

When do you use oiling out?

Can you help me please, im a beignner in drawing Can i learn drawing figurative portarit with oil painting directly without learning through pencil ? And what you recommend regarding brushes as i want to start with cheap oil brushes and colors? Any other tips or recomondation i will really appreciate it ...😊 Thanxss so much Keep up the good work 🧡💛💚

how are your brushes soo clean? +florent Farges

Please show demo of brush cleaning.

I have many more brushes than I should, but I think I have an irrational fear about not having enough brushes, then I end up with some that I will probably never use.

Florent, avez-vous enregistré une vidéo équivalente in french langage ?

I use my line brush to create a tree bark where I painted the flamingos during my trip to Florida visiting Disney's animal kingdom theme park.

Un Bonjour de l’ Australie

Hi Florent. I have a question, which brand were the Kolinsky sable brushes you have? I have been using connisseur brushes but I have only found short handled kolinksy.

I cracked up at the general and foot soldier brushes. 🤣🤣🤣

Oil paint takes so long to dry and is difficult to clean. Will use the paper towel trick to keep form.

merci pour cette démonstration, je parle anglais comme une vache espagnole, pour m'aider à comprendre j'utilise les sous-titre, ici j'ai tenté la traduction simultanée en français, je ne suis pas déçue du voyage, à un moment vous dites : comme une valise sur des skis ! (ha, ha), mais j'aime bien vos explications. Je me demande si quand vous enregistrez la vidéo vous avez une option pour traduire en français vos sous-titres ? Je ne demande pas cela aux anglophones purs, mais comme vous êtes bilingue ? merci

I appreciate your info on different brushes but am amused that you don't really use most of them! I love the dagger brush!

Give Andrew Tischlers channel a watch he uses dagger brushes all the time.

you use only the tip of angled brushes. It's great for foliage

Bonjour, ça serait bien de faire cette vidéo en français svp 🤗

??? You say you wash WASH your OIL PAINT brushes in soap and water ???

no i don't have many brushes , many brushes doesn't mean something good for me

Between the not very useful,and brushes you don't use .., do you even paint.
