My favourite brushes are available worldwide now!

 Hi! It's been awhile since I posted here last time. Lots of water passed away. We survived pandemic, started an online school, moved to another country... only one sentence but a big part of life!

I wonder if someone still will see my post on my blog. So I have started with an announcement. A Spanish online shop is in collaboration with Roubloff Art brushes manufactor and it is possible to purchase the brushes I always have been using. There is also a discount with my promocode STERKHOV20

You can purchase the  SET OF 5 ART BRUSHES or SINGLE BRUSHES separately. Don't forget the Promocode for your discount.

Those brushes is the result of a long selection. I've been working with Roubloff since 2010 and it was an intense collaboration. I tested dosens of brushes and those you can see here are capable almost of anything... Maybe I sound too enthusiastic though. However I have painted all my watercolour works with the help of those tools.

I wish you all to have a priviledge to use the best materials you can find. They are not making the painting work but making the process smoother and more enjoyable. Happy painting!

After a long testing finally we have a revolutionary art brushes by Roubloff. There are 4 types of hair in a new AQUA series. My favourite are black (synthetic squirell) and white (super synthetic absorbing a lot of water). Here are some of these new brushes with my sketch book.

A message from Mary Whyte

A Personal Message from Mary Whyte during pandemia

Mary Whyte

In these days of quarantine my datebook has been erased clean, which for many artists can be a welcomed oasis. Meanwhile, the lengthening daylight hours offer more time in the studio, where I have started a self portrait and am drawing up from memory small watercolors like “Calling.” With so much less on the agenda, I have made many new discoveries such as the pleasures of unhurried cooking, film noir, and timeless literature such as Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov.

In all of this, I hope that you, too, will find small moments of discovery and wonder.
