Professional Angular Brush (8)

Professional angular brush, size 8 (Amazing Art)

This is an angular brush with synthetic fibers cut at an angle. Size 8 is the all-round middle size of this range — it offers a sensible compromise between precision and the area it covers. The slanted edge carries the paint precisely along an edge, yet it holds enough paint to handle larger transitions and areas than the smaller size 6.

Properties and use

• The slanted tip lays down sharp edges and clean transitions while covering a larger area than the finer sizes.
• Suitable for controlled drybrushing of edges and panels and for toning medium-sized areas.
• The synthetic fibers hold their shape well and are springy — ideal for acrylics and water-thinnable paints.
• Thin the paint, apply it in thinner coats and rinse the brush as you go.

Who it is for

For modelers who want one all-round angular brush for edges and drybrushing of ordinary areas. For fine detail work reach for size 6, for large areas and more pronounced drybrushing for size 10 from the same range. Size 8 is a good choice as a first angular brush in the kit — it covers the largest part of the usual tasks somewhere between detail and area.

Clean the brush after use and let it dry lying flat with the tip reshaped. Storing it tip down deforms the fibers.
