Royal & Langnickel - Oriental Hake Large Area Brush Set - 3PC

Oriental Hake Large Area Brush Set - 3PC

Lay down flawless washes and blend seamlessly across any canvas size

Laying an even wash across substantial paper without streaks or pooling. These hake brushes solve it through sheer width and proper construction. Soft goat hair holds generous amounts of liquid while maintaining enough spring to distribute color evenly. The broad, flat profile covers large areas in single strokes, essential for graduated skies or uniform background washes.

Royal & Langnickel provides three practical sizes, 1 inch, 2 inch, and 3 inch, that handle everything from quarter-sheet studies to full imperial washes. Long wooden handles keep your hand away from wet surfaces while providing the control needed for consistent pressure across the brush width. Beyond watercolor washes, these brushes excel at wetting paper before painting, blending adjacent colors while still wet, and lifting excess media without disturbing underlying layers.

The flat ferrule design prevents the characteristic belly that causes uneven application in round wash brushes. Each size addresses different scale requirements: the 1-inch for smaller passages and controlled blending, the 2-inch for standard wash work, the 3-inch for covering serious ground quickly. Having all three means matching tool to task rather than forcing compromise.
