Mixed fibre widths give excellent spring and superior paint loading. Perfect with Cotman watercolours. Cotman watercolour Brushes are very popular, due to their blend of differing thickness fibres. The thicker fibres give strength and spring whilst the thinner fibres improve colour carrying capacity. The ferrules are made from high quality nickel-plated brass which helps to prevent corrosion, clogging of hair and enables easy cleaning. The handles are designed to provide balance and comfort when painting. SET CONTAINS- 7 brushes in various shapes: 6 and 1 Round for fine detail, lines and washes.
