Rosemary & Co. SERIES 91. Pure Red Sable Filbert
These are ideal for Watercolors and Oils (the latter usually preferred on the long handles). The natural characteristics of the Red Sable hair offer a good "belly, " allowing a liquid holding capacity greater than the Golden Synthetic.
This hair has a beautiful spring and, upon retouching the paper, will flow and release water, similar to a fountain pen. The Red Sables are an excellent choice for Oils if one can afford them and where a softness with a delicate spring is required.
The oval end of the Series 91 can be used to make sweeping strokes and fine lines when held vertically. Also known as a "cat's tongue," these brushes have a beautiful point, allowing fine detail.
