Key specifications

• Size: No. 8 — compact head for precise strokes
• Compatible media: watercolor, gouache, acrylic
• Typical use: detail painting, outlining, small fills
• Handle: short to medium length for close control

How to use

Moisten the brush slightly before loading with paint to ensure even absorption. Load the bristles with a thin, controlled amount of paint and use the tip for fine lines or the belly for slightly broader strokes. Rinse thoroughly between color changes and reshape the tip with your fingers while wet to maintain a sharp point. Allow the brush to dry horizontally or with the bristles pointing down to avoid water entering the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

For best results with watercolor and gouache, work from light to dark and keep the paint consistency slightly diluted for smooth flow. When using acrylics, avoid leaving the brush in water or paint for extended periods; clean immediately after use. Store the brush with the tip protected to preserve the pointed shape.
