Pro Arte Stephen Coates Foliater Brush

I think that his brush should become more effective in my hands after further practice. However my present attempts at painting trees with the foliater are less effective than those achieved using dry brush work with synthetic round brushes.

I have purchased two sets of these brushes, one for myself and one for a 98 year old uncle and whilst we haven't had a lot of time to experiment with them, our initial attempts have been encouraging. The U -tube video is great for instructions for use and they really do make tree painting more realistic with practice.

I use this set frequently and as a beginner find the results encouraging. Well crafted and designed. In my painting I find they generate enthusiasm, because they help me achieve my intentions.
