da Vinci COSMOTOP-MIX B Series 5530 – round watercolour brush in natural hair and synthetic fibre
The da Vinci COSMOTOP-MIX B series 5530 is a round watercolour brush for watercolour and gouache paints. According to the manufacturer, the hair is a blend of classic natural hair and synthetic fibre. Natural hair holds plenty of water and paint, while the synthetic fibre keeps the brush shape stable. Da Vinci describes the brush as an affordable alternative to red sable brushes.
The ferrule is silver-coloured, and the short wooden handle is glazed blue (Esagonal handle, i.e. hexagonal). The short handle sits comfortably in the hand when you work at a table or with the sheet flat in front of you. The brush contains animal hair and is not vegan.
Working with the round watercolour brush
Briefly dampen the brush in clean water before picking up paint for the first time, and it will take up colour evenly. Use the tip to draw fine lines and add details, and the belly of the brush for broader strokes and washes. For soft gradients, load plenty of paint and water and work on damp paper. Mix larger amounts of paint in a mixing well and dip only the tip of the hair into it. This keeps the ferrule clean and avoids putting unnecessary strain on the hair.
Care and choosing a size
After painting, rinse the brush in clean water, shape the hair and leave it to dry lying flat. Do not leave it standing in the water jar, otherwise the hair will bend and the handle may swell. Choose the size from the options: smaller brushes suit details and small formats, while larger ones hold more water and cover larger areas.
