From Dee Silver • Welcome to Dee’s Blog

July 24th, 2008

As I begin to communicate with you it feels like we are just beginning when in fact Silver Brush Limited is 19 years in business. Our original plan was to bring to market brushes for the professional painter.  That’s true today with the added variety of brushes in synthetic and natural bristles. When I started in the artist material business the standard of artist  was defined as an oil painter.  Well, we all know that isn’t realistic any longer.  Synthetic materials have changed what we bring to the artist and what they expect to use.

Just as color has progressed into the 21st century brush makers have had to up date and bring new product to market that will work well with the new types of paint.  The magic of marrying great color and an excellent long lasting brush is probably the greatest experience for any artist. Silver Brush has always maintained that our goal is to give the artist the best tool to bring color from the palette to the surface.

We have several free brochures that are yours for the asking.  E mail us @ info@silverbrush.com with your request and we will mail them to you free of charge.
