Short Handle, gold taklon. Ideal for watercolour, gouache and liquid acrylic. The Flat brush is most frequently used to paint large areas and blend. With its straight edge, the flat brush can easily create clean lines and block out different areas. To aid in versatility, the brush can also be useful for detail work when turned on its side or angled to use its tip. The synthetic fibres of this brush line are intended for watercolour and acrylic use. While the brushes are adapted to hold water, the bristles are nonabsorbent and therefore create a smooth and dense application of product.
