Da Vinci Short Handle Nova Fan

Nova Synthetics differ from other golden synthetics in their enhanced ability to hold water and color. Many other golden synthetics are glass smooth, but Nova synthetics use golden synthetic filaments of three different diameters with tiny ridges along the fibers that slow down the flow of water or color off the brush. These filaments have been specially shaped and tapered to adapt to the qualities of synthetic rather than natural hair.

Nova Series 400 Fan brushes are useful for feathering edges when working with heavier body paints like gouache or for making unique marks in watercolor. They feature nickel-plated, seamless brass ferrules that are resistant to rust.
