Kathi Hanson says of Silver Brush, "If I could only own one brush for watercolor it would be a Black Velvet #8 series 3000S round. The full body and slender tip make it the most versatile brush I have ever used. With one stroke I can fill in both large and small areas with color. The quality of this brush is beyond words. For all my liner work I use a Golden Natural #0 series 2007S Script. Its long hairs hold a nice load of paint and it performs beautifully. When covering large areas of paper with paint or water I use a Silverwhite® 1" series 1511S Stroke brush. It is a quality brush at a reasonable cost that gets the job done effortlessly."

Silver Brush, in cooperation with Kathi, created a selection of watercolor brushes that are ideal for the basic decorative techniques in watercolor. This three brush set features a selection of watercolor brushes from our Black Velvet™, Golden Natural™ and Silverwhite™ series, offering sizes and shapes to enable painters to work with the basic strokes and techniques of watercolor painting.

Set contains:

• Silverwhite™ 1511S-1" Stroke
• Golden Natural™ 2007S-0 Script Liner
• Black Velvet™ 3000S-8 Round

Here's what Earline Padgett, watercolorist , decorative painter & teacher says about Black Velvet™:

"The best performance only comes from the highest quality tools, and Black Velvet™ is the best I've ever used for watercolor. Their blend of natural squirrel hair with synthetic filaments combines for excellent carrying capacity with control, spring and precise pointing. They are full bodied and have wonderful snap! As a teacher, I provide loaner brushes for class use. I've found Black Velvet™ to have consistent quality and excellent strength to resist wear. Of the many shapes and sizes available, my favorite is the versatile Oval Wash - which offers not only a broad wash, but also a long slender edge and fine point. I never hesitate to recommend Black Velvet to my students."

Black Velvet™'s unique blend of natural squirrel hair and black synthetic filament creates ideal working tools for the watercolorist, silk painter, and artists working with inks, dyes, acrylics or gouache. Squirrel hair holds large amounts of color and releases it with perfect control. By itself, squirrel is delicate. So we blended it with a synthetic to resist wear and maintain a wonderful snap and spring. This soft blend allows multiple layer glazing without disturbing previous colors, yet it’s firm enough to lift color with a gentle scrub.
