These synthetic filament blend brushes are designed for students and professionals. Durable Cotman brushes feature excellent point and spring. They are considered a soft brush, slightly stiffer than sable. The soft filament is designed with watercolour, offering reasonable flow control and colour carrying capacity.

Watercolour brushes are designed to control the flow of colour. The perfect brush will have a fine point, the ability to hold and evenly control colour and should be able to spring back into shape after every stroke. As Gouache colour has the same properties as watercolour, all our watercolour brushes are interchangeable with Gouache, and the same brush characteristics apply.
