Raphael Pure
Golden Squirrel Flat Wash - CLOSEOUT SALE!
Raphael Pure Golden Squirrel Flat Wash Series 916
The Raphael 916 flat bright wash is made form pure golden squirrel. Large water
carrying capability is the greatest benefit of squirrel hair when used in
watercolor brushes. The wetter the better for this brush. Squirrel also
produces a sharp point like sable. Unlike sable, it has less body or snap. The
shorter bright flat shape of the 916 sets the belly of the hair closer to the
ferrule, increasing the hair strength for better control and snap. Black handle
with nickel-plated brass ferrule.
