  1. What a good assistant =]
    Great quick vid on basic brushes and strokes! This would be a great one to do on FABAtv and add onto, make more elaborate. I think everyone from beginners to advanced artists could benefit from it.
    I’ve been painting my whole life – and I have all these brush styles and more – and consider myself skilled. BUT I still learned something new – your peacock feather! Super quick and easy.
