Hello! Oh wow this is a new trick, I will definetely try it! I must admit that it is hard to make the transition from Daniel Smith to anything else. I know I know it must sound so pretentious, but it is true. I used Koh-i-Noor, but not that specific type. I will look into those as well! I guess that for any artist is very tempting to dip our brushes in all sorts of colors as we like to experiment. Is there any brand you absolutely love and wouldn't change for anything or you like to mix it up?
