Miniature painters use the so-called drybrush-technique to mimic rust, dirt and to create weathering effects. Also the grain of wood or the look of steel or fabric are accentuated. These versions are made of white synthetic fibers, that imitate the natural goat hair, and have black matte hexagonal handles. The advantage in comparison to traditional natural hair brushes is the more durable fiber, not breaking even after intensive use and assuring a long brush life. This Miniature Painting Dry Brush Set contains one piece each of Series 140 (Flat) Size 6, Series 143 (Round) Size 12 and Series 145 (Filbert) Size 10. Recommended age 2+ years
