Series 55 fan brush with white hog bristle and long handle.

Fan brush with extra-white hog bristle, long handle in earth-red lacquered wood with gold tip and nickel-plated brass ferrule.

The extra-white hog bristle is the thinnest amongst the natural bristles, being tenacious and resistant, medium elastic and flexible, with an excellent intake of colour. It is ideal for pasty techniques where colour handling is needed, such as oil or thick and medium acrylics. The brushstroke is light even when pressure is applied, leaving strokes in the colour.

Series 55 is characterised by the fan shape that is perfect for exerting a good amount of pressure on the colour, without any precise definition of the form whilst maintaining a soft stroke. Thanks to its elasticity and resistance, it is perfect for creating textured shades or subtle and parallel decorative strokes such as grass and hair, as well as for glazes with marking in the colour.

The range of sizes is reduced due to the peculiar nature of use. Proper cleaning and maintenance of the brush is necessary to prevent the hair from losing its shape. The handle is long, light and suitable for vertical easel work, where distance is needed between the hand and the work for perspective and a greater overview.

Individually packaged in resealable protective transparent plastic tube.

THE BRUSHSTROKE

The line is marked, wide and light whilst maintaining its pictorial stroke. If pressure is applied, the strokes are wide with a fan shape, whilst if used lightly, it leaves parallel and thin strokes.
