Use and care
This brush is ideal for watercolor, gouache, and ink, allowing you to apply even washes and work with the brush edge. After use, rinse the brush with water (if used with oil, rinse with thinner first), gently reshape the tip, and dry it flat in a horizontal position to avoid damaging the handle and the ferrule attachment.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the handle, and what type of work is it suited for? The brush has a short handle that provides precise control, especially for close-up detail work and painting at a table.
How do Aqua Elite synthetic hairs perform with water? The synthetic Kolinsky fibers closely imitate the properties of natural sable hair, hold a large amount of water and paint, and release them evenly onto the paper.
