The Callia® Flat Wash brush has a head that is more square than a flat shader and is a larger size. The blend of hair and taper of the brush make it good for applying washes or floating and blocking in large areas of color. The Callia flat wash is created with our blend of multi-diameter Cultured Synthetic. The filaments are etched to create microscopic pockets for color to absorb into, creating a controlled release of color, firm chisel edge and incredible shape retention. A perfectly balanced handle with six layers of filler, primer, paint and lacquer prevents water from penetrating to the wood. This ensures our handles resist cracking and increases the longevity of your brushes. We use solid brass ferrules which are crimped and meticulously inspected for shape and a scratch-free finish. We offer a fur-free promise, quality materials and tremendous care when designing and manufacturing our brushes!
