Daler-Rowney Aquafine Watercolour Brush - Fan Blender - 6

The soft synthetic filaments offer excellent colour-holding capacity, allowing the brush to load up with pigment and release it smoothly and evenly, which is crucial for watercolour techniques.

Yes, you can use it for acrylics, but it's essential to clean it thoroughly with water immediately after use. Acrylics can harden quickly and permanently damage the synthetic filaments if left to dry.

The fan shape is excellent for creating textures like grass, fur, or foliage. It's also useful for blending colours smoothly, softening edges, and achieving atmospheric effects.

The hand-mixed blend of thick and thin synthetic filaments is designed to closely imitate the performance characteristics of natural sable hair, offering good spring, colour retention, and a fine point.

The short, balanced handle provides enhanced control and precision, making it comfortable for detailed work and extended painting sessions.

The Daler-Rowney Aquafine brushes are handmade in the Dominican Republic.

Ensure the brush is properly cleaned and reshaped after each painting session. Storing bristles-up or horizontally can help maintain their form.

Clean the brush thoroughly to remove any dried paint residue. Ensure you are using the brush with compatible media like watercolour or gouache.

This is rare due to handmade quality. If the ferrule is genuinely loose, avoid using excessive force and consider contacting the retailer.
