AquaElite Oval Wash brushes are built for broad, fluid washes with watercolor, gouache, and ink. Unlike a filbert – which is narrower and designed for controlled strokes and blending – an oval wash brush has a wider, fuller shape that holds significantly more water and paint, allowing for smooth, even coverage over large areas without hard edges. These brushes are ideal for backgrounds, skies, glazing, and soft transitions.
AquaElite Synthetic Kolinsky Brushes are designed specifically for water-based media, offering exceptional performance with watercolor, gouache, and ink. Made with advanced synthetic filaments that closely mimic the water-holding capacity, spring, and fine point of natural Kolinsky hair, these brushes provide smooth paint flow, precise control, and consistent results. They excel at everything from broad, fluid washes to delicate line work and fine details. Durable, easy to clean, and resistant to wear, Aqua-Elite brushes deliver professional-level responsiveness without the maintenance concerns of natural hair – making them a dependable choice for both studio and travel use.
