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 set of three.youtube=qxNc6uSqxK8
