A little information about Steve:
“I am an artist working in and around the Upstate SC area. I’ve served a variety of commercial clientele over the past 30+ years as a graphic designer and illustrator but have been transitioning back to fine art lately. My first love has always been drawing and painting with a special emphasis on watermedia. Regardless of the medium, I have a passion for what I do and love sharing that passion with others in my work and on my YouTube channel, The Mind of Watercolor.”

Below Tim Wilmot, with over 4 million YouTube viewers around the world, leads a painting tutorial using my large diameter Goat and Synthetic Blend brush to create a street scene.
A little information about Tim:
“I’ve painted on and off all my life. I love watercolour. Most people say it’s the most difficult painting medium to use – after all if you make a mistake, that’s it. Do the same in oils, and you can paint over it. So it’s the challenge I think with watercolour to pull a painting off, but also it’s about some of the unique things you can do with watercolour that is difficult or impossible with say oils – e.g. try and do what they call ‘wet in wet’ in oils! I also love the spontaneity of watercolour and the speed at which you can work, often being able to complete a painting in under 2 hours. Also the freshness you can get with watercolour, the attempt to make one brush stroke work just right and it communicates exactly what I want.”

Internationally known Artist, Emily Olson creates truly amazing and highly intricate art with a wide range of subjects. Emily has over 800 thousand viewers on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. Emily uses Lebenzon Paintbrushes brushes in an instructional video below.
Some information about Emily.
“Before my YouTube channel. Before winning art awards. Before being paid actual money for art commissions. There was a future artist full of fear.
I had always loved art and the artists who created it.
But being a mom in my 30’s, I felt I was late to the party.
I saw these INCREDIBLE artists whose skill and expertise seemed to flow effortlessly onto their canvas. They seemed to have been born to do this (and apparently taking art lessons since age 3!).
And because of their amazing “gifts”, I doubted whether I was even capable of creating art I loved and could be proud of.
But even though I had a perpetual fear of failing, my overwhelming desire to test my true artistic potential pushed me out of my comfort zone.”

Internationally known Artist, Author, and Teacher Stephanie Law who creates magical and finely detailed fantasy scenes demonstrates Lebenzon Paintbrushes Stiff White Synthetic and Goat and Synthetic Blend brushes
A little about Stephany’s art from her web site:
“Stephanie Law’s images trace the boundary between dream and reality. She delves into the pictorial language of allegory, explores mythology in new contexts, chases tiny worlds of wonder from an insect’s viewpoint, and highlights the beauty of growth and decay found in nature. She interweaves texture, watercolor, gold and silver leaf, ink, and creates intricate layered pieces with resin and custom designed frames. In a meld of organic patterns and familiar archetypes, her paintings pose a question on the nature of perception and beauty, and it is against this backdrop that the ephemeral guides and strange creatures dance and beckon the viewer to follow through her various series.”

Internationally known Artist, Teacher and Author, Angela Fehr creates amazing art with a wide range of subjects. Angela has over 7 million viewers on YouTube and is a contemporary star in the art world.
In the video below Angela uses Lebenzon Paintbrushes Goat and Synthetic Blend brushes to create sunflowers in motion. In addition at the end of the video is an interview where Angela and myself talk about brushes and what is distinctive in my brushes. Angela’s painting is something to experience with all of its nuances.
Some information about Angela:
“I first picked up a watercolor brush as a shy teenager newly returned to Canada. During my teen years I’d lived with my family in a remote village in Papua New Guinea, and the solitude had cemented a passion for art that I was excited to pursue. In that first class, I quickly realized that watercolor was a perfect fit for me. There is something about the fluidity of pairing paint and water and allowing them to “collaborate” on a page that is so captivating. It’s never boring, and always unexpected.”
“Along the way, I realized that I wanted something more for my paintings than simply to copy what I could see with my eyes. I wanted to show my heart in my paintings, to pair the beauty of the world with a loose, intuitive, heart-led style. I didn’t know if I could accomplish that goal, but as I painted, I discovered “light bulb moments;” new ideas that I just had to tell someone. I started recording these glimpses of inspiration on video for YouTube, and found that my honesty as a lifelong student of watercolor and love for the medium encouraged others to pursue their own heart-led watercolor style.”

Internationally known Artist, Irit Landgraf is an extraordinarily talented artist. She has a remarkable sense of color and form and paints in a wide variety of styles. Irit has over 2.5 million viewers on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook and below she demonstrates Lebenzon Paintbrushes in an instructional video.
Below is a little from Irit’s biography. Her art very compelling and her background is even more so. You can find the full content at the link a little down the page:
How Art Came Back Into My Life
“As a creative child, I was always drawing, sketching and asking to attend art classes. But, I was also sensible and serious. I grew up with a family that valued professions which granted you a comfortable life and a reliable income. Secondary to those values, my family enjoyed hobbies. Art was a hobby.”
“I continued sketching and painting, but I studied math, chemistry and physics, so I could go to university and become a doctor, an engineer or, what I thought when I was in high school would be a good choice, an architect—a “sensible” profession. Conversations with my parents and grandparents led to an agreement that being an architect could satisfy a desire for creativity while remaining a “good” reliable profession.”
How I learned to paint with watercolors as a self-taught artist:
“Unlike the detailed plan I’d had when it came to learning medicine, learning to paint with watercolors was a brand new challenge. I had no idea where to start, what exactly I really needed to learn or from whom I might learn.
From online classes and from books, I sought anything I could get, and I was lucky to find some inspiring teachers. Being home with small kids in a small village meant I couldn’t easily enroll in an in-person art school. I had very little time to learn, and it had to be on my schedule.
Instructional books and online learning became great resources for me, but I became a little too focused on the details. I shopped for exactly the same supplies my teachers used, assembled color palettes that included “must have” colors, only transparent colors, only single pigment colors . . . . So many rules.
So many warnings about losing the light or making a flat painting. Only use watercolors. Always sketch. Don’t sketch. Never use white, never use black, only use primary colors, on and on.
It took me a long time to find focus and trust myself. I came to realize it is not just about techniques; it is about a state of mind. I learned flexibility and finding my own way. Technique was and is important, no doubt. But for every rule in art, there are artists that break them and still make beautiful artwork. I began rejecting teachers that only saw one way to do things, and I embraced instructors who encouraged me to go my own way and experiment.”

A little of Simon’s background: “Growing up surrounded by a family of potters, I draw on those early influences: the work of my Father, (David Leach), and Grandfather, (Bernard Leach), Japanese and Korean art. I have assimilated my surroundings; therefore my work has become a natural expression of what is personal to me. I find the ongoing challenge of discovering my own visual language and voice as a potter both exciting and rewarding. It is a lifetime journey. — Simon Leach.
