The Citadel Medium Shade Brush is designed for hobbyists and miniature painters who need a reliable tool for applying washes and shades to detailed models. It excels at delivering consistent, smooth coverage across intricate surfaces, though users should take care to clean the bristles thoroughly after each session to maintain the brush's fine point and paint-holding capability.

While it can apply base coats, it is specifically optimized for washes and shades. Using it for heavy base paints may cause faster bristle wear.
It is designed for acrylic-based model paints. Oil-based washes may require different solvents that could damage the synthetic blend.
Always clean and reshape the bristles after use. Store the brush flat or with the tip facing downward to prevent moisture from entering the ferrule.
Citadel brushes typically include a plastic cap for transport; keep this to protect the tip, but ensure the brush is completely dry before capping.
The blend provides the springiness and durability of synthetic bristles with the superior liquid-holding capacity of natural sable.
Wash the brush with mild brush soap and reshape the tip while damp; store it pointing downward or horizontally to allow it to dry in shape.
Ensure you only load the brush with paint up to two-thirds of the bristle length and rinse frequently during long painting sessions.
To ensure the longevity of your brush, always avoid dipping the brush into paint up to the metal ferrule, as dried paint inside the ferrule can cause the bristles to splay and lose their shape. After use, rinse the brush gently in cool water or use a dedicated brush soap to remove all pigment residue. Once clean, reshape the bristles to a point with your fingers and store it flat or hanging downward. This brush is fully compatible with all acrylic hobby washes, shades, and thinned-down paints used in miniature painting.
