The Water Colour Sketching Season Commences. In Water Colour Painting the employment of only the purest pigment is essential, but it is also desirable to obtain really reliable Brushes. Here again Reeves & Sons are able to assist the Artist, since they have been Artists’ brushmakers for over 145 years, and have built up a reputation for manufacturing good hard-wearing brushes in Sable, Fitch, Ichneumon and Squirrel hair. For further particulars concerning Sketching Requisites, write for Reeves’ Abridged Catalogue, which will be forwarded post free.
