Winsor & Newton - Series 240 Goat Hair Wash Brushes
Soft goat hair holds generous washes for smooth, even coverage
Soft goat hair absorbs and releases substantial amounts of water, making these brushes ideal for laying down broad washes and gradients without disturbing underlying layers. The 1 1/2-inch hair length out of the ferrule provides enough spring to maintain control while holding generous pigment loads, essential for covering large areas smoothly before washes begin to dry.
Winsor & Newton constructs these brushes with seamless black aluminum ferrules that won't split or corrode when exposed to repeated soaking. White polished handles with black tips offer comfortable grip during extended painting sessions. Short handles suit watercolorists working at easels or flat surfaces where close control matters more than arm's-length perspective.
These brushes excel at atmospheric skies, background washes, and any application requiring even color distribution across broad areas. The soft hair won't leave harsh brush marks in delicate passages, while the natural absorbency ensures consistent flow from ferrule to tip. Available in multiple sizes to match your painting scale, from compact studies to larger format work.
