Black Velvet® brushes are versatile tools, capable of creating a wide range of marks. With the right pressure, you can achieve everything from fine lines and broad strokes to delicate washes and intricate details. Especially favoured by floral and botanical artists, Black Velvet® brushes excel in creating one-stroke flowers and leaves!
Handcrafted by skilled artisans who undergo rigorous training, Black Velvet® watercolour brushes are a hallmark of quality, known for their exceptional craftsmanship. These fine artist brushes feature a unique blend of natural squirrel hair and durable synthetic fibres. The natural hair provides a full belly, allowing the brush to hold a larger amount of colour, so you can paint for longer without needing to reload. Meanwhile, the synthetic fibres offer a subtle snap, ensuring the brush always comes to an extremely fine point.
Soft enough for smooth, multi-layer glazing and firm enough for gentle colour lifting, Black Velvet® brushes are suitable for use with watercolour, gouache, inks, and dyes.
The 3008S series also includes a specially designed black acrylic handle with a bevelled edge, perfect for scraping and separating paper from watercolour blocks.
