Daniel E. Greene, NA tells why his brush choices are Silver Brush.

“The shape of the Silver Brush Renaissance Cats Tongue makes this red sable a perfect cross between round, bright and flat. It allows me particular control for details.
The Grand Prix Filbert combines flats, brights and rounds in one shape. The old masters used rounds, but filberts combine the best features of the rounds and flats. I recommend filberts over any shape.”

Silver Brush has created four sets of brushes to the specifications of Daniel E. Greene, NA.

They are specifically selected and designed to meet the needs of portrait painters as well as experienced artists looking to complete their brush collection with the finest.

A letter from Daniel E. Greene:

"Over the course of forty-five years of painting, and in my role as teacher I have been asked many times to evaluate and reccomend brushes. A number of companies produced fine materials, but not untilSilver Brush appeared could I call any extraordinary.

"The Silver Brush cats-tounge sable is a perfect brush and of superb quality; the Silver Brush filbert is the best I have ever used.

"The Silver-Brush Company has agreed to produce three special portraiture brush sets that I have selected. I believe their use will allow the greatest degree of control and technique.

"Having the right brush makes all the difference!"
