These short-handle brushes are excellent for watercolor painting. Made from single-diameter, finely tapered synthetic hair securely crimped onto short, lacquered wooden handles, these brushes hold their point beautifully and are made to last. Certain wash styles are also available in soft, natural goat hair for superior color retention or pony hair and synthetic blends. In convenient and traditional shapes and sizes, these high-quality brushes are value priced.
