Miniature Brushes

Made exclusively for Polymers Plus by a top European brush Manufacturer

100% Pure Red Sable, short length, with slim handle.

Ideal for watercolour, acrylic and oil miniatures, the natural characteristics of the Red Sable hair offer a good "belly", allowing a liquid holding capacity greater than many other brushes used for watercolour.
The Red Sable hair, used in our range, has a beautiful spring and upon touching the paper, will easily flow and release watercolour paint similar to a fountain pen. For acrylic and oils, our Red Sable brushes are also a good choice where a softness with a delicate spring is required.
The short hair allows for a more bulbous and controlled mark and, although the point may appear shorter, they are still super sharp.
