Nicola Dale’s Brushes
"Whenever I tell people I'm an artist, they usually reply: “What do you paint?” and I feel a rising sense of confusion as I respond, “Oh, I don’t paint at all…” (That’s not to say I don’t like painting. A successful painting is always magical: how amazing it is that this gloopy, sticky, unruly stuff transforms into image, idea, feeling. At school, I imagined that if I became an artist, I would surely be a painter?! At that time, painting and drawing were all I really knew. But that’s not how things turned out. As I moved into higher education, I realised very quickly that I was not a painter at all. My skills lie elsewhere.) “…I work in the crevice between sculpture and performance.” Another way of saying this is: I’m interested in how people, objects and actions come…
New Day by Markus Neal Humby
"Rosemary's Ivory long filberts are a great choice for acrylic paints. They hold a lot of medium viscosity paint, so you can cover and/or blend a large area quickly and opaquely. They are resilient brushes that clean up easily and retain their flat shape with rounded corners, which are preferable to square-cut brushes for smooth blends and also provide a blending action when using the side of the brush." - Markus Neal Humby Artwork courtesy of Markus Neal Humby.

Artist Spotlight: Brittany Dixon
Please share a bit about yourself, as an artist, but also as an individual! I’m a self-taught oil painter from the Gold Coast, Australia. My wish is to create art that evokes a magical sense of escapism and inspires viewers to get lost in the soul-stirring beauty of nature. I fell in love with painting while studying Communications at university and began to appreciate the peaceful escape that creating art gave me. I started painting every day and never stopped! What do you like to create and why? Animal portraiture has played a big role in the foundation of my career as an artist, and painting custom pet portraits for people is something that fills me with joy and purpose. I see it as an honour when a client trusts me enough to capture the animals they love so much…
Choosing The Right Brush by Susan Lyon
"I am a huge fan of Rosemary Brushes for two reasons. First is the marvellous variety, craftsmanship, and love of excellence they infuse into each and every one of their products. I am not aware of another brush company that makes so many different styles specifically tailored to the needs of the professional oil painter." - Susan Lyon [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbqwnp3ORp4[/embedyt] Find Susan Lyon's Set on our website, here.

Artist Spotlight: Aine Divine
My name is Aine Divine. I am a painter and art teacher. I’ve lived in Scotland for nearly 30 years and come from Cork in Southern Ireland. I’ve always been intrigued by all things creative. From an early age, I drew and painted a lot. My mum, the head of the local school, encouraged all of us children to be creative. She would read stories, and then we would illustrate them. One of my earliest memories is drawing Toad of Toad Hall in prison, after she read us that chapter from The Wind in the Willows. I am especially interested in drawing and painting people. The third eldest of seven, I always had models around to draw. My youngest sister Rita, particularly, who was born when I was 13, modelled- awake and asleep- for my early paintings. I’m very inspired…
