Brush Artequipment Rembrandt Watercolour Series 132 No. 2 — round watercolour brush, synthetic filament, size 2

Artequipment Rembrandt Watercolour Series 132 No. 2 is a round watercolour brush designed for precise detail and controlled washes. The size 2 head offers a fine point and moderate belly for consistent pigment pickup and release. Constructed with synthetic filaments, this brush aims to combine spring and durability while delivering predictable, even strokes for illustration, landscape and botanical watercolour work.

Advantages

The synthetic filaments provide reliable spring and resilient tip formation, enabling consistent fine lines and smooth edges. The moderate belly stores enough water and pigment for several small washes while allowing immediate control when switching between detail and fuller marks. The round shape and size 2 point suit both delicate line work and small-area coverage, reducing the need to change brushes frequently during a session.

Suitable for

• Detailed line work and fine outlines in watercolour illustration
• Small washes and glazing in landscape or study paintings
• Botanical and floral painting requiring controlled strokes
• Mixed-media sketches where a consistent round tip is needed

Key specifications

• Brush type: round watercolour brush
• Filament: synthetic
• Size: 2 (fine point)
• Belly: moderate water and pigment capacity for small washes
• Suitable media: watercolour; compatible with water-based inks and gouache for detail work

How to use

Wet the brush evenly and load with diluted watercolour to the desired intensity, allowing the moderate belly to hold sufficient pigment for several strokes. Use the tip for fine lines and controlled edges; employ the belly for small washes by rotating the brush slightly to use the side. Rinse between color changes and reshape the tip gently with your fingers while damp to maintain a sharp point.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use with quality watercolour paints and maintain the brush by rinsing thoroughly after each session and storing it horizontally or tip-up to protect the ferrule and bristles. Avoid prolonged soaking and exposure to extreme heat to preserve filament spring and tip integrity.
