Makes a crisp fine line, broad stroke and sharp corner. Provides good control because it doesn't hold as much water as a round. I like using the end of the handle for scraping too.

Despite the fact that I have numerous fine watercolor brushes, some of my round Kolinsky brushes considered the finest to be had, I find myself reaching for WN series 995 brushes time and again. Though I love and prize my Kolinsky rounds, I seem to prefer the flat brush for much of my work, as it affords me the greatest flexibility of strokes. This brush has more spring than the sables as it "resists the stroke of the paper" (to para phrase Sargent) and this workhorse keeps beautiful edges as well as holding plenty of water. I only use the sables for the top layers where I need to be careful with the previous paint layers, or for large washes that require tons of water/paint, but when I want precision and control with a flat, this brush delivers.

These brushes are great for florals. They can do both thicks and thins. And, as a calligrapher, I can also use them for large lettering projects. They keep their chisel edge.
