The Black Velvet series by Silver Brush Limited is trusted by watercolor artists for its balance of fluidity, control and tactile response.
The Silver Black Velvet 3008S Square Wash 1/4'' is designed for artists who need precision without sacrificing the performance of a true wash brush. Its flat, squared shape allows for smooth, controlled washes, crisp edges and refined transitions in smaller areas.
The premium blend of natural squirrel hair and black synthetic fibers (black risslon) holds an efficient amount of water and pigment, releasing them evenly and predictably. Soft enough for multiple glazing layers without disturbing previous washes, yet resilient enough for clean color lifting and edge control, this brush excels in structured watercolor work.
The short, well-balanced wooden handle ensures comfort and stability, while the beveled back end can be used for scraping or burnishing effects.
A precision wash brush for artists who value clarity, structure and control.
