Josh Larock Pro Set

Joshua LaRock is internationally recognised as a pre-eminent figurative artist. LaRock's exquisite paintings are an ode to the past filtered through a contemporary life. His portraits and narrative pieces alike are memorable for both their emotive quality and for evoking an eerily present feeling. Inspired by Bouguereau and other masters of the past, LaRock imbues a shade of the timeless, drawing the viewer deeper into his personal interpretation of how the world ought to be.

"Great art-making requires only the best tools to be successful and Rosemary's brushes became an absolute necessity for me from the moment I tried them. Their fine quality, excellent variety and durability are unmatched. These brushes enable me to be fully present during a painting session, allowing focused attention on the beauty and emotion of my subject rather than fighting with my materials. I cannot thank Rosemary and Company enough for their dedication and attention to detail in making a fine product.

My brush collection is comprised of all the shapes and sizes I regularly employ in my portrait work.  I find it essential to have the stiffness of the Ivory’s as well as the soft, delicate qualities in the golden synthetics at my disposal - they allow me a wide variety of paint application and subtle effects.  The small rounds are perfect for detail work in and around the eyes, whereas the larger evergreen filbert and rounds can quickly and easily mass in larger passages.  Furthermore, every serious artist needs a few larger brushes as found in my Pro Set - the fan brush for knocking down brush strokes, a 2” bristle brush for backgrounds, and a proper soft brush dedicated solely for varnishing."

This set consists of 18 brushes, all on long handles unless specified
