Sterling Edwards has designed a series of brushes that not only allow you to create beautiful paints, but are made to last and are affordable. The brushes in this "Signature" collection are made with fine nylon bristle brush heads. This filament can hold just enough color to deliver great results without destroying paper with too much water. The filament bristles are characterized by their excellent shaping capabilities and incredible brush response that allows the brush head to return to its shape after each stroke. The slim profile of the flat brushes allows for controlled applications of color while maintaining a sharp edge, allowing you to "cut" shapes without difficulty. These brushes reflect a lifetime of crafting to find the best brush money can buy for easy mixing and polishing. The bristles can hold a lot of paint but little water, so you can lay larger, bolder shapes into wet paper. Cold-pressed and rough surfaces are nice to work with, but when you need to mix, you really need a brush that will work in the paper tooth. The stiffer bristles do this better than softer ones. These brushes will soon be your favorite glazing brush as they hold just enough water to allow for a large or two stroke glazing without providing too much water and color. The flat edge and larger sizes of these brushes allow you to create thick, sharp chiseled shapes. You may have noticed in the picture that the handle looks rather strange. I assure you it was not a mistake. The handle is designed to allow you to hold it for a more natural and easy movement. You will also want to note that we have gone to the cutting edge of technology on these brushes for a long service life. Each has stainless steel plated tips that will not rust. They are also attached to high quality blue resin handles that will not chip or crack., Weight: 0.5 pounds, Manufacturer: Sterling Edwards
