Silver Brush Black Velvet Brushes

Silver Brush Black Velvet Brushes are watercolor brushes handmade by expert artisans who undergo extensive training before they are skilled enough to produce the kind of quality that has become synonymous with the Silver Brush brand. Popular among floral and botanical artists, Black Velvet brushes are excellent for one stroke flowers and leaves!

Black Velvet brushes feature a unique blend of natural squirrel hair and durable synthetics. The natural hair gives Black Velvet a full belly that holds a maximum amount of color so you don’t have to reload the brush as often, while the synthetics provide a slight snap that ensures your brush will always come to an extremely fine point. Black Velvet is soft enough to allow multiple-layer glazing, yet firm enough to lift color with a gentle scrub.

The acrylic or wood handles are fitted with ferrules that are made from nickel-plated brass and coated in a triple-crimped epoxy barrier. This upholds the life of the brush by reducing the chances of water damage.

These short handle brushes are ideal for use with watercolor, gouache, ink, and dyes.
