Flat Brush with White Synthetic Fibres, Short Handle

Flat brush with white synthetic fibres for acrylic and gouache

The flat brush with white synthetic fibres and a short handle is intended for acrylic and gouache paints. Its flat shape suits painting larger areas, such as backgrounds, priming or uniform blocks of colour. The fibres have medium flexibility: they are soft enough for an even application of paint, yet still keep their shape as you brush.

The brush comes in several sizes. Choose the size from the options.

Working with the flat brush

For even coverage, load the brush with plenty of paint, but not so much that it drips, and brush in one direction. If you let the strokes overlap slightly, you avoid visible joins. Use the narrow edge of the brush to draw straight lines and make clean edges. The short handle sits close to the surface and gives you good control of the brush when you work at a table. Rinse the brush with water straight after painting, as dried-on acrylic paint is very hard to remove later.

Which size should you choose?

The wider the brush, the faster you cover large areas such as canvases, wooden boards or backgrounds. Narrower sizes help with smaller motifs, edges and corners. For a mixed project, it is worth combining a wide and a narrow size.
