As you glance at the brush you will see one end has a hair length of 1.57" it then angles to 2" on the 2" wide brush and to 2.17" on the 3" wide brush. The shape allows artists and painters to curve their strokes. This is especially useful for cutting in basic shapes and to run the brush along a circular area.

You can cover a lot of area with this brush like all flat brushes. 2" brush is 13" long and the 3" is 13.6" long. The handle is made of varnished beech wood and the ferrule is nickel plated with a rust proof tin coating.

The endless uses of this brush can't all be listed however it is ideal for almost all stages of a painting from priming to painting to varnishing. Use it with all your favorite media. Available in 2" wide with 2" long hair and a 12.7" length or 3" wide with 2" hair length and a 13.4" length. The handle is made of varnished beech wood and the ferrule is nickel plated with a rust proof tin coating. DOMED SASH ROUND BRUSHES The bushy round shape of the brush make it perfect for loading and creating long continuous soft edged linear strokes. The natural flagged ends and fullness of the hair allows it to cover large areas with ease. The brush works in unison with the other three shapes in this series and is a vital tool for a myriad of uses. This brush style has a history dating back to birth of artist brushes and has been the go to brush ever since. These brushes feature a long length which is instrumental to working large.

You can cover a larger area because the brush features an internal fluid reservoir that holds paint or varnish in addition to the brush tips, which retain a considerable amount of fluid. Besides, these brushes are triple-thick, making them the ultimate brush for laying down large areas of paint, either thin ink or heavy impasto, as well as varnishes and gels of all sorts. Very fine 0.15mm PBT tapered filament allows for the most versatile use from varnishing to impasto painting to large scale lettering. The fine synthetic bristles do not leave any traces or marks when varnishing, creating a seamlessly smooth finish. The hair is purposely set at an angle allowing the user to hold the brush at a comfortable 45˚ angle. The high-quality filament, stainless steel ferrules, solid beech wood, and skilled craftsmanship contribute to a long brush life and are ultimately a great value!

Only the purest 100% cotton is used in the extra-tight weave to create an exceptionally smooth canvas free of the knots and bumps usually found in linen. The portrait-smooth canvas is then cleanly wrapped and adhered to a warp-resistant 3.5mm MDF board. Acid-free, archival glue acts as an archival barrier between the MDF and the canvas. New York Central's universally primed surface is ideal for oils, acrylics, caseins, and alkyds. Perfect for traveling and painting outside, the canvas panels are sturdy yet lightweight and take up less space than a standard stretched canvas. All New York Central products are premium quality and made with only the finest materials. Packaging Note: The primed canvas weighs 8.82 oz. per m2 and 7.37 oz per sq.yd. The square yard weight is listed on the canvas label; however, the correct weight is 8.82 oz. Key Features: * Universal acrylic primed, 100% cotton canvas * 4 oz. unprimed / 8.82 oz. primed weight * Mounted on durable MDF 3.5mm board * Extra-fine portrait-smooth texture * Smoother than most linen weaves * Acid-free, archival glue protects against SID* * Resistant to warping and sagging * Clean paper backing Perfect For: * Oils, acrylics, alkyds, and caseins * Oil sticks, soft pastels, and oil pastels * Delicate brushwork and fine details * Portraits and highly detailed paintings * Painting en Plein air and traveling * Painting highly realistic landscapes and still lifes * Achieving a luminous, refractive effect with oils * Artists of all skill levels Pre-Treated With Acid-Free, Archival Glue To Protect Against SID Acid-free, archival glue helps to prevent Support Induced Discoloration (SID) between the MDF and the canvas. While acid-free, archival glue can help to avoid SID, it is also essential to protect the artwork from material and environmental factors that can cause deterioration. All New York Central products are premium quality and made with only the finest materials. See More -
