Silver Brush BelleAqua Brushes offer superior color-holding capacity, flawlessly transferring watercolors from palette to paper for exceptional results. Inspired by the enviable qualities of red sable brushes, these pure synthetic brushes provide springy, responsive control with every stroke. They’re ideal for watercolor work, but also perform admirably with gouache, ink, silk dye, and more. A nickel-plated brass ferrule secures the synthetic fibers in an interlocking pattern to prevent them from losing their shape when wet. Each brush features a short handle made from strong, flexible birchwood with a blue lacquer finish for enhanced durability.
