da Vinci NOVA Fan Brush Series 400, Synthetic Fibres

da Vinci NOVA Fan Brush Series 400 – for gilding, textures and effects

The da Vinci NOVA fan brush Series 400 is a fan brush with extra-fine, golden synthetic fibres. You can use it for gilding mouldings, for example on baroque frames, and for textures and creative painting effects.

The fibres are set in a sturdy silver ferrule. The short handle, made of green-polished wood, keeps your hand close to the tip of the brush. This helps with fine work on frames and profiles, where you want to guide the fan shape with precision.

Using the fan brush

When gilding, you guide the fan into mouldings and profiles whose shape a flat brush cannot reach. For textures such as grass, fur or foliage, pick up only a little paint and dab or draw the fan in short movements. Too much paint makes the fine fibres stick together, and the texture runs into blotches. Clean the brush thoroughly after use so that the fan shape is retained.

Which size to choose

Series 400 is available in No. 1 and No. 3. Choose the size from the options. The smaller number suits narrow profiles and fine details, the larger one wider areas and bolder effects.
