Wow

The most difficult thing I have encountered in my glass work was the desire and need ( regardless of screening) to become proficient in controlling the brush!...

Well....I have been using browns since I began...and this weekend, I was being watched by a seasoned pro and he immediatly told me to grab a grey and try it...and it was like night and day! I feel like my control has doubled just switching...has anyone else had this to be true and how many are using browns?

My brown quills are somehere back there, they probably need some fresh oil on them. Being an avid "hand guy", I always use grey quills, always have, always will. -LW :)

If you like the control of GREYS, just wait 'til you try REDS! Red sable brushes have the most "snap", and (if you can find them) shed their hair the least too.
