|
| We're kicking off Season 5 with an exciting collaboration with da Vinci brushes! This is part one of a two part series.
On this episode Gregory Daniels, their North American importer tells us all about the history of da Vinci as well as his own personal history growing up as part of a legacy of art material suppliers. |
|
| Gregory also talks about da Vinci's unyielding commitment to quality and ecology, as well as how the founder of da Vinci, Hansfried Defet, not only succeeded to attain his goal of making the best brushes in the world, but also made advances in technology to create a synthetic fiber that is virtually impossible to knock off. We talk about what sets da Vinci apart from other brush companies: their dedication to excellence and not cutting corners, or in this case hair, for the sake of profit. We talk about the amazing artisans at da Vinci who make every single brush by hand, and who maintain a high level of quality control to ensure that every brush they make is a work of art in itself.
We also want to announce that da Vinci brushes and BoldBrush have teamed up to create paintbrush sets for our listeners! Simply visit brushoffer.com/collections/boldbrush so you can check out these amazing exclusive sets while you listen to the episode! Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional artist, these brushes truly are the best in the world. |
