For something so fundamental to painting it’s rare to hear an artist talk so eloquently about the musicality and variation of brushes. How they’re weighted, the way they’re designed to be held, moved and utilised. Five minutes well spent with Australian artist Jo Bertini for the Talking with Painters podcast.
