Da Vinci Short Handle Nova Flat Wash

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 18 Flat Wash brushes have a very sharp painting edge and good spring. They feature aquarelle handles of clear plexiglass with beveled ends for scraping off color. All have nickel-plated, seamless brass ferrules that are resistant to rust.
