Yeah, "brush quality doesn't matter" is horrid advice. My watercolor teacher required us to buy only one brush, a pricey squirrel hair. The difference between that and a cheap acrylic brush is so great they shouldn't even have the same name.
- lancesells 4y agoI came to say the same thing. I paint in oil but I would imagine with watercolors being so delicate and sensitive materials would make a big difference.
- Geonode 4y agoI have a few Kolinsky sables- made of a Russian weasel's tail. Really nice brush.
- Broken_Hippo 4y agoCame to say the same, though there was a lot of bad advice in the thing. It isn't that brush quality always matters: I'm not as concerned with brush quality when I use acrylics. Watercolor, however, it matters. Upgrading my brushes to Kolinsky sable brushes seriously improved my watercolors. It doesn't need to be sable: Folks have good success with others too. They do need some quality, though.
