Silver Brush - Black Velvet Series Brushes

Black Velvet Series Brushes

Layer luminous glazes without disturbing underlying washes

Squirrel hair holds water beautifully but lacks spring; synthetic filaments provide control but can't match natural absorbency. Silver Brush solves this with a hybrid blend that delivers both qualities in one brush. The combination retains substantial water for sustained washes while maintaining enough body to lift color when you need corrections. This balance proves essential for glazing techniques, soft enough to float transparent layers without disturbing dried paint beneath, yet responsive enough for controlled blending and gentle scrubbing.

The blend handles watercolor, gouache, fluid acrylics, inks, and dyes with equal capability. Short black lacquered handles offer precise control for close work, marked by Silver Brush's signature silver band and black ferrule. Whether building atmospheric depth through successive transparent layers or lifting highlights from dried passages, these brushes adapt to your technique rather than forcing you to adapt to their limitations. The Risslon synthetic component ensures durability that pure squirrel can't match, extending brush life without sacrificing the soft touch that makes delicate glazing possible.
