Today is a day of constant interruptions for me! If like me you find yourself having to stop painting every ten minutes, you’re in the right place to find a solution! My paintings don’t suffer if they have to sit for a bit while being interrupted by deliveries of furniture, curtains being fitted, hungry husbands and more! So if your life is also one of short bursts of freedom, I‘ve designed this painting experience to be perfectly interruptible! So let‘s get started before we get interrupted!

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Maestro Series (black and Gold handles) and the Golden Nylon Series 11-2 (red and white handles) and I use sizes 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
