This watercolor brush, made with a blend of synthetic bristles and squirrel hair, is a great alternative to the traditional squirrel hair brush. The dense, flexible bristles are firmly held together by a chrome-plated copper ferrule. This brush is an excellent tool for all painting techniques that require free hand movement to define the desired shape of a subject, whether it's a lush treetop, a city building, or its inhabitants. The fine tip allows for precise lines, which can be widened with light pressure.
