Product Information
Full details
The Daler-Rowney System3 Angle Shader Brush (1/2in) is an essential tool designed for artists, students, and hobbyists who need precision in their acrylic and watercolor projects. Its primary benefit lies in the specialized angled head, which allows for effortless shading, highlighting, and navigating tight corners on the canvas. While the brush is highly durable and versatile, users should note that as a synthetic brush, it is optimized specifically for water-based media and may not be the ideal choice for heavy-bodied oil paints.

FAQs
Is this brush suitable for oil paints?
No, the System3 range is specifically formulated for water-based media like acrylics and watercolors. Oil solvents can damage the synthetic filaments.
How do I store this brush?
Store it lying flat or in a brush holder with the head pointing up. Never leave it head-down in a jar of water.
Can I use this for fine detail work?
Yes, the 1/2in angled tip is excellent for fine lines and sharp edges, though you may need a smaller round brush for miniature detailing.
Does the brush shed bristles frequently?
No, the high-quality ferrule construction is designed to minimize shedding under normal usage conditions.
Is the handle waterproof?
The handle is finished to be durable, but it is best to avoid prolonged submersion in water to maintain its integrity.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splaying or losing shape
Clean the brush with gentle soap and warm water, then reshape the bristles with your fingers and allow it to dry horizontally.
Dried acrylic paint stuck in the ferrule
Use a specialized brush cleaner designed for synthetic hair to gently dissolve the residue, then rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your brush, always rinse the filaments thoroughly in water immediately after painting with acrylics to prevent the medium from drying and hardening at the base of the ferrule. For watercolor use, a simple rinse and reshape are sufficient. When storing, avoid leaving the brush head submerged in water, as this can distort the shape of the filaments over time. Always dry the brush horizontally or with the bristles facing downward to prevent moisture from entering the handle. This brush is fully compatible with all standard water-based acrylics, watercolors, and gouache paints.
