Mixed Sable and synthetic brush // Round, Size #10 // by White Nights
Natural black sable and snow-white synthetic brushes "White Nights" combine the best properties of natural pile (water retention) and synthetic fiber (elasticity and wear resistance).
They are mainly used in watercolor painting, but they are also suitable for gouache, tempera, acrylic and oil paints. Trend brushes: film clip with no metal wire (improved version of the French mount), easy to clean.
Perfect proportion of sable and synthetic pile. Sable in the composition of the brush provides ideal pickup and paint output, and synthetics helps to maintain the sharpness of the tip when writing (holds its shape). Due to the increased depth of the hair bundle, more moisture is retained than in brushes with standard casing.
The sharp tip of the brush allows you to write out the most complex and delicate shapes. The functional tip of the handle is useful for separating sheets in scrapbooks, in sgraffito techniques, and for removing masking fluid.
Round brushes are versatile, used for detailed work, creating a wide range of shapes and effects.
Brushes made of sable are placed in the middle between soft squirrel and elastic kolinsky.
The adjusted ratio of natural obedient hair of black sable and synthetic pile make the brush a little more elastic than the pile of squirrel, and therefore predictable, with the ratio of water and paint in the brush under the control of the artist. The wear resistance of sable brushes is higher than that of columnar brushes.
