“One of the reasons I love using quill brushes is because of their unique construction. Quill brushes have a higher density of bristles, which allows them to hold a large amount of water and pigment. This means they can carry a generous load of wash and release it onto the paper in greater quantities, creating fluid, expressive strokes. For me, quill brushes support a more spontaneous and carefree approach to painting, which is central to my loose style.
Another reason I love quill brushes is their versatility. By adjusting the pressure, I can achieve everything from fine, delicate lines using just the tip to bold, expressive strokes. This dynamic range gives me the freedom to paint loosely while still maintaining control where needed.
I’ve developed my range of brushes with Pro Arte because of their incredible quality. Each brush is handcrafted, which makes every one feel truly special. The craftsmanship ensures they hold and release water beautifully, making them perfect for expressive, fluid painting.
I’ve shared these brushes with students at my workshops and gifted them to artist friends, and they all agree—they’re superior in quality, highly versatile and remarkably long-lasting compared to other brushes on the market. That’s why I feel confident in partnering with Pro Arte to create my own branded brushes. I know I can trust their expertise to produce tools that truly support my painting style and the needs of my students.”
