watercolor brushes
Wet-media painting tools
Watercolor brushes are paintbrushes designed specifically for watercolor painting, typically featuring soft, absorbent bristles that hold water and pigment well.
Natural hair brushes—especially sable—are prized for their springiness and fine points, though synthetic alternatives have improved considerably.
The brushes come in various shapes: rounds for detail work, flats for washes, mops for large wet areas.
