One of my sons is a recent college grad and is working in New Orleans in a banking management program.<br />You asked about brushes. I went to our local art supply store and felt the brushes up close and personal to choose. I use windsor newton monarch flats for smaller to medium works. Discovered that windsor newton has another line ..galleria acrylic brushes. I bought a # 32 . Would suggest some smaller as well. I like a softer brush. Not fond of stiff brushes. Jerrys art has great prices. Better than what I paid locally.<br />Good luck!carol morgan carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097740695077840231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302550926788966274.post-90630780788664070152010-11-27T17:31:41.626-06:002010-11-27T17:31:41.626-06:00Chardonnay Ray is so beautifully painted.
