da Vinci Silk Painting Brush Set Series 5200, 3 pieces

da Vinci Silk Painting Brush Set Series 5200 – three brushes for details, areas and outlines

The da Vinci silk painting brush set Series 5200 is a basic kit for silk painting, made up of three brushes with different hair types and sizes. You can paint fine details, medium areas with outlines and large areas of colour without having to choose between brushes from different series.

The brushes hold plenty of paint and release it evenly. This helps with silk paints, because the colour spreads quickly on the fabric. The ferrules are rustproof and the handle is short.

Which brush for what?

The three brushes are graded by size and hair, so you can work from large areas down to fine detail.

• Red sable, size 2: for fine details
• Ox hair, size 16: for medium areas and outlines
• Goat hair, size 30: for applying colour over large areas

Tips for working on silk

Stretch the silk on a frame before painting so that it does not sag. Apply large areas quickly and in one go so that no visible joins appear. For details, load the small brush with only a little paint, otherwise it will run past the edge you want. Rinse the brushes thoroughly after painting so that no paint dries in the ferrule.
