Brushes are artistic tools designed for applying paints, watercolor pencils and pastels, varnishes, glues, pigments and makeup. The sable brushes of Nevskaya Palitra are round in shape, covered in nickel-plated ferrule and attached to a wooden handle. Samur hair has great flexibility and elasticity, thanks to which the brushes can not only leave thick streaks of paint through their side surfaces, but also easily form a thin, sharp tip for detailed and fine touches. They are ideal for working with water-based paints, such as watercolor, gouache and tempera. In order to prolong the life of the brushes, after work they must be cleaned and allowed to dry with the hair down.
