The Black Velvet series by Silver Brush Limited is known for its ability to combine fluidity with precision, and the Round No. 4 is one of the most versatile small sizes in the range.
The Silver Black Velvet 3000S Round No. 4 features a fine yet full round brush head that holds enough water and pigment to work comfortably without constant reloading. Small enough for clean lines and detail, yet capable of handling small washes and shaping tasks, it is a true everyday precision brush.
Its premium blend of natural squirrel hair and black synthetic fibers (black risslon) provides a soft touch on paper, reliable snap back to a fine point and controlled paint release. The brush responds immediately to pressure, allowing subtle variation within a single stroke.
The short, well-balanced handle ensures comfort and stability during focused painting sessions. A perfect complement to larger round brushes in the Black Velvet series.
