Water Colour & Gouache Brushes
Choosing the right brush is important and at Winsor & Newton, we have over 150 years of brush making experience. It is this experience which enables us to provide a number of brushes that are ideal for water colour painting.
Water colour brushes are designed to control the flow of colour. The perfect brush will have a fine point, the ability to hold and evenly control colour and should be able to spring back into shape after every stroke.
As Gouache colour has the same properties as water colour, all our water colour brushes are interchangeable with Gouache and the same brush characteristics apply.
We provide a variety of high-quality brushes made from different types of hair to help you achieve different effects. If you would like to find out more about the properties and materials of water colour brushes, then see Choosing Water Colour Brushes.
