da Vinci Artists Brushes, Germany

I’m a confessed brush addict. I’ve worked with da Vinci since 1991 and have over 400 brushes, each one used! I help them develop and test new brushes, and promote their brushes. They are artworks in themselves – da Vinci make nearly a million by skilled hand each year, with another two million made by their unique technology. There is a shape and fibre for every application. Trust me, I know what I’m doing!

Schmincke Artist Colours

In 1986, I first met Peter Hesse, whose family started this renown German manufacturer in 1881. He said “that’s my family’s name on the paint – it must be the very best, or my name is worth nothing!” Schmincke do indeed make the finest colours for artists, combining 140 years of paintmaking tradition with German technology and exactitude. It’s colour that sings! I’m proud to call the wonderful people at Schmincke my friends.
