The Daler-Rowney Aquafine Watercolour Brush Set is designed for watercolor and gouache artists who prioritize precision and control in their creative process. These synthetic brushes mimic the performance of traditional sable hair, offering excellent color-holding capacity and consistent shape retention, making them an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced painters; however, they are specifically optimized for detailed, short-handled work, which may feel less comfortable for artists accustomed to long-handled, loose-stroke brushes.

These brushes are compatible with all watercolor and gouache media. To maintain the life of your brushes, ensure they are thoroughly cleaned immediately after each use. Gently wash the brush heads in lukewarm water using mild brush soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Reshape the tips while wet and allow them to dry flat or hung bristle-down to prevent water from soaking into the ferrule, which can damage the handle and loosen the glue. Avoid storing them standing up on their bristles, as this will permanently deform their shape.
