They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html --------------------------------------------------------------- CONNECT WITH ME Visit the YouTube Community Tab here: https://www.youtube.com/DianeAntoneStudio/community Diane Antone Studio Private YouTube Members Group - for Members only https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianeantonestudiomembers Website: https://dianeantone.com Facebook Diane Antone Studio: https://www.facebook.com/dianeantonestudio Facebook Members Only Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianeantonestudiomembers Facebook Learn to Paint Watercolor Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnwatercolourpainting Facebook Learn to Paint Mixed Media Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnhowtopaint Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dianeantonestudio Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/dianeantonestudio TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dianeantonestudio Please visit our baby sister channel @fromthegarden Tip Jar: https://tinyurl.com/dastipjar --- FAVOURITE SUPPLIERS BLICK ART SUPPLIES: https://tinyurl.com/savewithblick JACKSONS ART: https://tinyurl.com/savewithjacksons --- We use royalty-free music from Epidemic Sound.

If you’re struggling to get started in art, if progress is slower than you hoped, or if you are experiencing a creative block, I have a solution for you, and it’s just one word — DOODLE! I found the simplicity of creating all kinds of doodles really unlocked my creativity and today, I’m going to share my jailbreaking process with you! Plus, I’m going to show you how to make your own simple, stitched Daily Doodle book, which takes seconds and costs pennies! Watch me paint the next page in this sketchbook: https://youtu.be/cvT0XFhRQQ4 Doodle inspiration from ​⁠@creationsceecee ​⁠@LauraHornArt and Kate Rebecca Leach (@essoldodesign on Instagram) and many others over the years!
