AQUA ELITE SYNTHETIC SABLE SHORT HANDLE WASH 3/4 INCH

Aqua Elite Series 4850 Synthetic Kolinsky Sable Brushes

Kolinsky Sable Painting Brushes have long been recognized as the standard of excellence, a comparative benchmark of how other natural and synthetic watercolor painting brushes perform. Elite is a new synthetic-hair paint brush that is almost indistinguishable from natural Kolinsky. It is a challenge to see the difference. Aside from the more affordable price, it is the performance of this new synthetic hair paint brush technology that makes Princeton Aqua Elite the new standard for discerning watercolor painting artists.
