What is a "watercolor brush"?
A watercolor brush is a paintbrush specifically designed for use with watercolor paints. It has soft, flexible bristles that hold water and paint well, allowing for smooth, fluid strokes. Watercolor brushes come in various shapes and sizes, such as round, flat, or angled, to suit different painting techniques. The bristles are often made from synthetic fibers or natural hairs, such as sable, to provide the right balance of water retention and control. Watercolor brushes are essential for creating soft washes, blending colors, and fine details in watercolor painting.
