Leon Holmes Set

"Since being introduced to Rosemary brushes I have found no better wand I would want to wield. The rosemary brushes in my set have out lived any other brand five times over and are still in a condition like the day I bought them 3 years ago. Impressive! 

 

I recommend here a simple but very versatile set for plein air studies where no two subjects are ever the same. Short flats in different size are great for pushing paint around and offer a variety of marks especially when it comes to buildings, windows and rooftops. The softer bristles of the 279 series are perfect for softening edges and smoothing textures. The filberts, I have chosen 2 of each as I like to have a dark and light, or warm and cool for general use. The rigger for the signature and the Egbert is a fun one to play with and loosen things up ;)

 

The old saying goes 'A bad craftsman blames his tools' Maybe he has a right to if he is not using Rosemary brushes. I'm positive they've improved my work!" - Leon Holmes, 2014
