Brush fill color

My brush had a transparent fill color so I changed it to white, however after each time I paint it reverts to transparent. What am I doing wrong?

Same issue! Fill color keeps reverting to "None" when drawing with brush! (When in the tuto video, fill and stroke are both white)

Try going to the Appearance Panel and from the flyout menu uncheck New Art Has Basic Appearance.
