The brush features a hand-mixed blend of thick and thin synthetic filaments of varying lengths and tapers. This unique combination is designed to closely imitate the performance and feel of natural sable hair, offering excellent color holding and shape retention.
While this brush is optimized for watercolour and gouache due to its softer bristles, it can be used with fluid acrylics. However, for heavier body acrylics, brushes designed for more robust media are generally recommended to prevent premature bristle damage.
Clean the brush thoroughly with water after each use, reshaping the bristles while wet. Allow it to air dry completely, bristles up. Proper cleaning and storage are key to its longevity.
The flat 3/4 inch head is excellent for broad, sweeping strokes and washes. By tilting the brush and using its edge, you can also achieve finer lines and more controlled marks.

Ensure the brush is properly cleaned and reshaped after each use. Store it flat or bristles-up. If damage is severe, it may be time to replace the brush.
Rinse the brush thoroughly to remove dried paint. Ensure you are using enough water/medium with your paint. The brush may be saturated with old paint that needs a deeper clean.
