Most of the brushes I am using are Rosemary and Co Brushes. Here it the link to the their website https://www.rosemaryandco.com?u=5711a7

as well as links to the actual brushes I was using

for whiskers (when I don't cut them in by removing paint) I love the Ivory Dagger and sword brushes here is the link for the daggers

The Domed Eclipse Filbert I was using can be found on this link....it's a wonderful little brush, great for both application and blending.

the pure red sable in the 81 series was used for blending . I wanted to give you the link to this brush in case you are interested in getting one for yourself

This piece was inspired by all the feral cats living in my neighborhood and I wanted to create awareness to the responsibility of all pet owners to have our pets spayed and neutered . I will be taking part of the proceeds of the sale of this piece to go to one of our local "No Kill" animal shelters.
