What this paintbrush is built for

With camel hair, this brush is soft and flexible, better suited to thin washes and delicate work and is looser and bushier, great for expressive, sweeping strokes. It holds plenty of water for long watercolor sessions without reloading, and holds a lighter load of paint, ideal for controlled detail work. Paired with a long handle wood handle, it is built for full-arm strokes at the easel, suited to oil and acrylic painting.

What makes this brush work?

Flat brush

Choose a part of the brush to learn what it does. Product-specific properties appear separately above when the relevant metafield is populated.

Bristles

The working end of the brush carries and releases paint. Its shape, material and condition influence the mark it can make.

What does stiffness tell me?
Stiffness describes resistance when the bristles meet the surface. The product-specific rating above appears only when a stiffness value is recorded.
Why does springiness matter?
Springiness describes how readily the brush returns toward its shape after pressure. It can affect control and the feel of a stroke.
Water and paint retention
Water retention describes how much water the brush can carry; paint retention describes how much paint it can pick up and hold. Use the ratings above as product-specific guidance when supplied.
