“The Rosemary brand name is now so synonymous with visual artists and creative craftspeople worldwide for brushes of sustained durability, excellent handling properties and fine point and shape retention under arduous use in both studio settings and En Plein Air conditions. I do prefer the control of short flat(bright) brushes,bristle, long handle, more or less throughout my work, with just the use of a fine rigger for detailed passages. Again, the durability of this range under heavy use remains impressive, with good sharp edge retention."
