California Proposition 65

- Responsive brushes for everyday watercolor techniques
- Golden synthetic fibers offer smooth color release
- Blended filaments help retain brush shape
- Short, bright blue wood handles for close control
- Corrosion-resistant nickel-plated ferrules 

Build foundational watercolor skills with Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Brushes and Sets. Featuring golden synthetic filaments blended in varying thicknesses, these brushes balance strength, spring, and smooth color release. Thicker fibers add snap and resilience, while finer fibers improve color-carrying capacity, so brushes retain their shape through repeated use.

Short, bright blue wood handles keep your hand close to the paper for comfortable control, whether you’re painting washes, edges, fine details, or expressive marks. Nickel-plated ferrules help resist corrosion, reduce clogging, and clean easily after painting. 

Choose from a versatile range of shapes spanning every watercolor technique, including rounds, riggers, one-strokes, angled brushes, fans, filberts, mops, washes, and aquarelle styles. Sets combine useful shapes and sizes for learning, practice, classroom use, travel, and finished work.
