A blend of natural squirrel hair and black synthetic filament combines to provide excellent carrying capacity with control, spring, and precise pointing. Black Velvet brushes are full bodied, with a wonderful snap. Use them with watercolor, silk painting, inks, dyes, acrylics, and gouache.

A polished black ferrule crimps the hair and is fitted to a gloss black handle. Enjoy a wonderful range of styles and sizes.

Black Velvet Watercolor Brushes, Set of 3 — Black Velvet brushes are a perfect blend of soft, absorbent squirrel hair and fine synthetic filament for spring and responsiveness. This set contains one Series 3007 Script Liner size 1, one Series 3009 Oval Wash size 3/4", and one Series 3008 Round size 8.

Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Handles beautifully, but didn't hold up

Comments about Silver Brush Black Velvet Brushes:

I loved the way color floated onto the surface and how easily it was to blend without disturbing previous layers. But within a few uses it no longer pointed nicely...it costs too much to have deteriorated so quickly.

Comments about Silver Brush Black Velvet Brushes:

I got the brush to use with watercolors. It had 4 really nice reviews, so I purchased one of the Rounds. I used it once and carefully washed it, reformed the tip, let it dry with the brush part down but not touching anything,and stored it with the brush end up.I went to use it again and several of the bristles have pulled away from the main body of the brush. It would cost me more to return it from where I'm at, so I'll use it, but I'm not overly impressed with it. Maybe just the one I got

Best of Both Worlds

By Marksman

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Silver Brush Black Velvet Brushes:

The Black Velvet series has great water retention, and points as well as red sable due to the squirrel hair, which is typically too soft for me, but combined with the synthetic fibres these blended brushes give alot of snap. Silver Brush has a real winner here, the only one in its class. The Jumbo Rounds are great for large, loose work.

Black Velvet is the best!

Comments about Silver Brush Black Velvet Brushes:

For watercolor they're the best ever. I'm saying good-bye to sable after painting with these brushes. Color just floats out beautifully and they do seem to carry just as much water as the pure squirrel, but without the weight-and the flop. These are what watercolor is all about!
