I got new Rosemary & Co brushes yesterday and wanted to try them out. I've always just bought cheap synthetic brushes because in my mind, the natural hair brushes seemed to bushy and long to be able to create a sharp edge. Boy was I an idiot. These brushes feel super smooth. It's like the difference between scratching at your painting and gliding over it. Time will tell how soon they get hairy. Hopefully it will be a long time.

It unfortunately did not improve my painting skills. I was fighting a losing battle here. I did find that I was able to paint right over certain areas that I wanted to fix much more easily than before.

I was scrounging around for something to paint at home and found these guys in the fridge! I forgot they've been in there for weeks. I was really surprised they hadn't rotted.
