Black Velvet Squirrel &
Synthetic Blend for Watercolor
"The best performance only comes from
the highest quality tools, and Black Velvet™ is the best I've
ever used for watercolor. Their blend of natural squirrel hair with
synthetic filaments combines for excellent carrying capacity with control,
spring and precise pointing. They are full bodied and have wonderful
snap!"
--Earline Padgett, watercolorist, decorative artist & teacher
Silver's unique blend of natural squirrel hair and black
synthetic filament creates ideal working tools for the watercolorist,
silk painter, and artists working with inks, dyes, acrylics or gouache.
Squirrel hair holds large amounts of color and releases it with perfect
control. By itself, squirrel is delicate. So Silver blended it with
a synthetic to resist wear and maintain a wonderful snap and spring.
This soft blend allows multiple layer glazing without disturbing previous
colors, yet it’s firm enough to lift color with a gentle scrub.
Black Velvet features polished black ferrules, carefully fitted to
gloss black handles, each with a distinctive silver neck band.
Grand Prix Long Handle
Grand Prix is made exclusively for Silver Brush Limited by master brushmakers,
using 100% naturally curved Chunking white bristle. This carefully chosen
bristle has deeply flagged and interlocked tips for maximum color carrying
capacity.
Pure seamless corrosion resistant copper ferrules are double crimped
to long matte green lacquered handles. Bristles and handles are both
sealed in the ferrule to protect these elegant brushes.
Grand Prix brushes are perfectly balanced and shaped to fit the hand
using only the best quality materials, making painting and exciting
and stimulating experience.
