The Da Vinci Series 488 features the popular Spin synthetic in this mop style wash brush. They are made of light brown synthetic fibres held in plastic quills with transparent lacquered handles. They are fabulous for all liquid colours, especially for watercolour and silk painting possessing a great absorption capacity and an even colour application. Water is visibly ‘drawn’ up the filament making them a perfect replacement for natural hair.  Generously sized and hand shaped, its unique point allows for full strokes across the paper, while coming back to a perfect point. Brushes are handmade in Germany at the da Vinci family owned factory since 1890.
