Isabey - The Hardest Working Brushes in the Business!
Twenty years ago I started painting and beating up my brushes. I pound them with paint, mistreat them and have left a few for dead. I still have and continue to paint with these very same brushes today.
Isabey brushes have been handmade in Brittany since 1895. They are tough and impeccably made. You know how disrespectful I am with my art stuff; however I clean my brushes with either Murphy Oil Soap or Castile Soap from Citra Solv everyday. Here is a list of my brushes that have lasted all this time.

1. Series 6088 Filberts - #12, #8 and #6
2. Special 6036 Rounds - #12
3. Isacryl Acrylic Rounds 6512 - #16 and #12
4. Isabey Mongoose Filberts 6159 - #20
5. Isabey Chung King Bristle 2420 - #2-3/4”, #2” and #1-1/8”

These brushes are sold in fine art stores that feature Savoir Faire products. Also, that is where I buy my Fabriano watercolor paper, as well as their Sennelier line of paints. I have been painting for twenty years with these painting products (along with others). Next month, more about why I use Fabriano paper!
