Sponsored by Fabart! Use coupon code: 7L35VMG2 to save 20% on either (or both) of the brush sets I demonstrated.

Important notice! Fabart updated the contents of the set I used from the demo to add some of the specialty brushes that were before only found in the interchangeable set and remove some of the more redundant brushes so you get a greater variety regardless of which set you choose. Also the brushes I used today now come in a space-saving pouch instead of the hard zip-up case I showcased. (I am using one of the first prototypes of the set was was not aware of the new configuration at taping) Here is a handy reference of the brushes in this kit and what they are used for:
