“It’s not just a brush, it’s an experience. A ritual. It’s life changing and it’s your life.”

From John Austin

‘I am sending you a photograph that may be of interest to you.

I became a full time artist 40yrs ago & have produced several hundred paintings, the picture shows the vast collection of brushes I’ve used over that period. I’ve tried out many makes of fine art brushes over the years. It was my good fortune that a fellow artist recommended you to me about 20yrs ago, my regret is, I didn’t know of your superb brushes earlier.

The majority of my work is commissioned by railway enthusiasts, who tend to demand precision, certainly where names and numbers are concerned, your brushes have allowed me to achieve this accuracy.

Congratulations to you & your colleagues on your 40th Anniversary.’

President of The Guild of Railway Artists
