Hi! It's come to my attention that there is actually distributor for the Rosemary and Co brushes in the US (and they're super friendly!): www.windriverarts.com/ :)

"Comparison is the thief of joy." Thank you. Wise words of relief.
-
God sorastro you're such a wise human lol
-
Holy crap. Sorastro is ripped! Right on.
-
There are about a million videos of "10 things you need to know" or "10 things i wish i knew" when started painting. And then there is this video... no click bait title just useful information for people how to start or start again or even struggle with painting. Just like your painting videos, just great work!
-
I had never painted a miniature 4 months ago, but with the help of your videos I have learnt so much. Thanks for your help with painting in this hobby, nobody believes I had never painted before now at my local gaming group. Much appreciate your hard work, cheers mate
-
Either Sorastro lifts, or his brushes weigh 20kg each and he paints in 3 sets of 6.

I started watching you back when you did Imperial Assault miniatures, and I can honestly say it's because of you that I've gotten into this hobby which I've loved so much. So thank you for all that you do, and keep it up!
-
FYI, Rosemary & Co series 323 is the same brush as Artis Opus series "M"(with slightly different handles as pointed out), and their dry bushes are found by just searching "dry brush". Also, R&Co do ship to Canada.
-
You've been a huge inspiration to me on becoming a better painter, love all of your work, keep it up!
-
Thank you for the comment about putting down your own work. That was an amazing mindset!
-
My man Sorastro been hitting the gym. 💪🏽 Thank you for the insight on the artist opus brushes! You saved me lots of hobby money! 😊 I will be supporting your patron soon.👍🏽
-
Great as always!! You always manage to give the correct information in a simple and effective way.
-
Oh my gosh, this is the exact video I hoped you would do!!!! Thank you!!!
-
Thank you Sorastro, you are not only a great inspiration but also a great help for us beloved hobby. It's always wonderful to see your tips and miniatures, also the music and your voice are incredibly soothing.
-
Thanks for the comments at the end of the video here. I put down my own painting ability quite often, and am often disappointed in my progress. But you're right, comparing the job I've done to the plain mini...they actually don't look half bad. 😅
-
Thank you for sharing this joy of painting with all of us!
-
