The "Foliater" brush was designed for Pro Arte by the well-known watercolour artist Stephen Coates. It features a semi-circular ferrule, which produces a unique bristle profile. The brush-head is also trimmed diagonally, so that the brush produces an irregular, dappled effect when loaded with paint and stippled lightly across the surface of watercolour paper. This makes it easy to mimic the natural fall of light on the foliage of distant trees and bushes.The brush head contains a mixture of hog bristle and racoon hair. The hog bristle allows the brush to be stiff enough to stipple and 'punch' the paper and the soft racoon hair has a great water-holding capacity, making it ideal for watercolour painting. The Pro Arte Stephen Coates "Foliater" is available in three sizes - Small, Medium and Large - and as a set of three. This is a Medium.Ferrule Width: 10mmBrush Hair Length: 19mmyoutube=qxNc6uSqxK8

The synthetic softener produces similar effects to the Badger hair softeners, and if properly cared for will last a lifetime.This brush is one of the most essential brushes for painting authentic faux and custom decorative finishes. Its softness reduces harsh edges between colours, blending and softening the unnatural edges from your work. The stroke is extremely light, almost tickling the surface with the tips of the hair. You should use your arm from your elbow to maintain an even stroke over the surface. Avoid brushing with only your wrist as this tends to be quite irregular, even with the lightest touch.

Da Vinci Micro Nova brushes are designed for exact detail. They are made from fine golden synthetic fibre and provide an excellent level of control and quality.

The short black polished handles are designed for a good grip and will not roll across your work surface. They have red belly bands at the edge of the ferrule so you can locate the correct brush quickly.
