Paddle Brushes features high-quality synthetic hairs which will retain their shape and that work exceptionally well with both pasty and thinner acrylics. The broad 2-inch line of short hairs in a relatively thin bundle in combination with the flat handle provides ultimate control. They are perfect for covering large surfaces and varnishing, but also gives you the ability to work expressive and do calligraphy. The hairs are mounted on the ergonomic handle with a strong nickel-plated brass ferrule.
