Lay down a broad band of colour or join a larger colour area with this Conda flat brush. Its soft synthetic hairs are intended for painting with watercolour, acrylic and oil paint. The wide, flat head makes it a practical choice for backgrounds and generous strokes.
What do you receive?
You receive one flat brush in the 2-inch version with soft synthetic hairs. This is a conventional painting brush that you dip into paint or water. Choose your paint, painting medium and surface separately.
The broad face and narrow edge
Use the broad face for bands of colour and larger areas. Turn the head onto its narrow edge to follow a border or make a slimmer line. The final stroke depends on pressure, brush angle, paint and surface. Choose a smaller brush for very fine details and compare the shapes on a sample.
Work with a controlled amount of paint
Pick up a little paint and work in overlapping strokes in your chosen direction. For a wash, dilute colour according to the paint’s directions. Match paint and painting medium to your surface and try the dilution on the same material first. Add water or medium gradually; the amount and drying time vary with the paint.
Clean and store
Clean the brush promptly after use according to the paint or medium’s directions. Gently reshape the hairs and let the head dry without flattening it. Store the brush without pressure on the hairs and avoid leaving it resting on its tip in a container for a long time.
