Professional Rounded Brush (8)

Professional round brush, size 8 (Amazing Art)

This is a round brush with synthetic fibers from the professional Amazing Art range. Size 8 is a medium-sized all-rounder: the round bundle of fibers takes up enough paint for continuous areas and still comes to a point, so with it you can manage base coats as well as medium-sized detail. It is the type of brush you will reach for most often on the bench.

Properties and use

• The round bundle holds plenty of paint, so it suits continuous laying of base and covering coats.
• The point also allows medium detail, transitions and glazing without having to change brushes.
• The synthetic fibers are springy and return to shape well, which suits acrylics and water-thinnable paints.
• Thin the paint, lay it on in thinner coats and rinse the brush as you go, so that paint does not harden at the ferrule.

Who it is for

For modelers who want a reliable all-round brush for ordinary painting. For fine detail reach for the smaller size 4 or for the brushes of the High Finish range; the size 8 is the workhorse for areas and medium work. A round size 8 is among the most used brushes of all, which is why it is worth having a good one and looking after its point.

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