The Features You Need in a Watercolor Brush
Watercolor stands out for its fluid nature and luminous, delicate effects. The transparency of watercolor paints can create challenges, like when mixing colors. As a wet medium, timing matters in the creation of artwork. The tone can also vary based on the amount of water you add, which is where a reliable brush comes in.
These characteristics call for particular watercolor artist brushes with features like these:
- Soft bristles that move effortlessly across a page
- A design that holds a lot of water so the bristles don't dry out during strokes
- Durable construction to withstand regular use
- Even flow to release paint consistently across angles
- Spring or snap that allows the bristles to return to shape after use
- Short handles for detailed work close to the page
- Round handles that balance well in the hand
High-Quality Watercolor Brushes From Trekell
We offer an extensive selection of watercolor brushes made from synthetic and natural hair. Our brushes come in varying shapes, including round, flat, mop, cat's tongue, liner, wash and quill. Round brushes are the most popular and versatile watercolor option, as they can create thin lines or broad strokes. Mop brushes hold more water, allowing you to create soft, flowing washes. They can also help you blend colors and achieve textured effects. Other brush shapes generate a range of strokes that can add variety to your work.
Our brushes range from 0 to 20, and we have smaller sizes represented by fractions. Brushes numbered 4 or 6 provide a medium size with versatility for details and more expansive work. Smaller sizes can add more delicate features, while larger sizes can create looser work or watercolor washes.
