A change of location or a bit of extra stress can easily throw you into a painting slump, and I've been feeling low energy and making excuses not to paint for a week now. But our #buildabird challenge came to my rescue and all of my excuses disappeared as I reached for my paintbrush to bring one of my whimsical bird creations to life. So join me as I show you how I've been enjoying our #buildabird challenge, and join me for the challenge too - but beware, if you do join the challenge, you'll have no more excuses not to paint!!

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
