Series 801 Unico Flat Brush with Imitation Mongoose Synthetic Fibre and Balanced Handle

A flat tip brush of mongoose synthetic fibre, with a ergonomic transparent dark-brown lacquered handle and a nickel-plated brass ferrule.

Mongoose fibre is characterised by great softness and absorbency along with a slow release of water. It is ideal for watercolours and painting techniques requiring reduced thicknesses and high degrees of dilution, such as diluted acrylic or oil in very light glazing. Wide at the base and thin at the tip, the mongoose synthetic fibre perfectly replaces softer animal hair. The flat shape is ideal for the application of backgrounds and light strokes with dynamic forms. If used on the narrow side, it creates very thin, long and well-defined lines. When pressure is applied, it creates a square form.

The brushstroke is light and defined, much appreciated by watercolourists, illustrators and colour professionals. The ergonomic handle is balanced with a patented medium-length grip that reduces strain on the joints of the hand thanks to its larger diameter. It is equipped with an anti-rolling system with a horizontal hollow that stops the brush from slipping across the work surface.

The line is full and soft when pressure is applied, leaving no strokes. When used on the narrow side, it creates long and continuous lines with a slow release of water and colour.
