First Annual Prescott Plein Air Festival for the Highlands Nature Center Available Works.
I like these mini clip on brush holders so much I bought two of them for plein air in case I lose one, and got one of the bigger ones for my studio. The only holder I know that really keeps brush tips apart in the field. Lightweight, sturdy, easy to use. Pro tip: stick your cleaned brushes in tip down to keep your ferrules dry.
I LOVE this brush tray - in fact I have two of them in my studio. It's modeled after a similar tray used by Rembrandt, soooo if it's good enough for him....
The idea is you put oil in the base and let your brush tips rest in the oil at the end of the day. You don't have to clean your brushes daily. Yay! A beautiful, elegant, simple solution. Plus, Philip is straight up one of the best guys I know, and makes impeccable stuff. One of these days I also hope to paint something worthy of one of his fabulous frames.

Rosemary is my preferred vendor for brushes; easy to order direct from the UK; shipping is the same and delivery times no more than I usually see from US based vendors (tip of the hat to the UK mail.) These are lovely, lovely brushes; I have many of them and just keep buying them because they are such a joy to use.
Currently (as of 3/5/22) still promoting a "seconds bundle", a great way to get into these brushes at a discount.

My preferred line includes the Ivories - a real workhorse of a synthetic, easy to clean (go easy on the solvents) and a joy to work with. I love the extra long flats.

I like the mini clip on brush holders so much I bought two of them for plein air in case I lose one and then got one of these bigger ones for my studio. The ball head makes it easy to position and the clamp s big and sturdy. Lightweight, well made, easy to use. Even a magnet to hold a palette knife. Great if you are workign up close. Pro tip: stick your cleaned brushes in this thing upside down to dry.
