I am amazed to hear that several of you can destroy a sable brush through the course of one painting. My style is such that I don't have to blend a lot and even when I do my bristle brushes can do the job. Do you use these sable brushes to lay in large areas also? My best investment has been 3" bristle and I use it as much as I can to block in and often use it in the finished work for size contrast.
I would guess that you are using a smoother canvas than I. I tried a good quality sized portrait canvas recently and found that my brush strokes tended to slip and slide.
