The Black Velvet series by Silver Brush Limited is trusted by watercolor artists for its refined balance of fluidity, control and tactile response.
The Silver Black Velvet 3009S Oval Wash 3/4'' offers the versatility of a large wash brush with added control compared to the 1'' size. Its oval-shaped brush head allows for smooth coverage, soft edges and natural color transitions, making it ideal for expressive yet controlled washes.
The premium blend of natural squirrel hair and black synthetic fibers (black risslon) holds a generous amount of water and pigment, releasing them evenly and predictably. Soft enough for multiple glazing layers without disturbing previous washes, yet resilient enough for effective color lifting, this brush adapts effortlessly to advanced watercolor techniques.
The short, well-balanced handle ensures comfort and stability, even during extended painting sessions.
A versatile wash brush that bridges precision and freedom.
