The HJ Kazan Gold Artist's Watercolour paint brushes are a superior quality brush for watercolours. They are made with 100% synthetic squirrel hair, which gives superior water holding capacity to natural squirrel brushes. These brushes keep their precise points and have beautiful short wooden handles that are finished to allow you to see the natural wood grain. The bristles are super soft, yet have enough spring so they aren't floppy. These brushes are excellent for watercolours, liquid watercolours and acrylic inks.
