White goat hair is very soft and holds an immense amount of liquids. These brushes are ideal for watercolour wash work, silk painting, Chinese brush work, sizing, glazing and any application requiring the medium to be flowed onto the surface. Recommendation: As these brushes are traditionally handmade, limited shedding may occur during initial application. It is important that the brushes are washed in a mild solution of soap and water, then rinsed and flicked prior to application. Long handle.
