Switch between watercolor, acrylic, and gouache without changing brushes
Synthetic fibers have evolved beyond simply mimicking natural hair, these Nova brushes demonstrate how modern materials can match sable's spring while surpassing its durability. Da Vinci engineers their fiber blend to balance paint absorption with release control, creating brushes that load generously yet deliver smooth, even strokes across watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and ink. The fibers maintain their snap through aggressive techniques that would splay natural hair, returning to point or edge session after session.
Short handles position your hand close to the work surface for controlled detail and gesture, whether you're layering transparent washes or building opaque passages. Green lacquered handles resist moisture and provide secure grip during extended painting sessions. The synthetic construction handles rough treatment that would damage kolinsky, scrubbing into textured surfaces, working with thick acrylics, cleaning with soap and water without special conditioning. Fibers shed minimally and hold their shape through hundreds of painting hours, making these brushes reliable workhorses for artists who move fluidly between water media techniques. Build a versatile brush collection without the investment required for comparable natural hair quality.
