Here you’ll find my recommended Rosemary & Co brushes for floral painting. They’re great for capturing delicate petals, soft transitions, and expressive natural forms. You don’t need these exact brushes, but I suggest finding good equivalents or using similar ones you already own.
Personal preference determines whether you opt for a long or short handle.
