Description
This is a review of the Stephen Coates Foliater Watercolour Brush Set, which contains three brushes: a small, medium, and large. The ferrule on the brush is semi-circular, and the brush head is trimmed diagonally, which gives the brush an irregular, dappled effect when loaded with paint and used to stipple lightly across the surface of watercolor paper. The hog bristle in the brush head makes it stiff enough to stipple and "punch" the paper, while the racoon hair in the brush head has a great water-holding capacity, making it ideal for watercolor painting. The set of three is available in three sizes: small, medium, and large.
The Foliater brush was designed for Pro Arte by the well-known
watercolour artist Stephen Coates. It features a semi-circular
ferrule, which produces a unique bristle profile. The brush-head is
also trimmed diagonally, so that the brush produces an irregular,
dappled effect when loaded with paint and stippled lightly across
the surface of watercolour paper. This makes it easy to mimic the
natural fall of light on the foliage of distant trees and
bushes.The brush head contains a mixture of hog bristle and racoon
hair. The hog bristle allows the brush to be stiff enough to
stipple and 'punch' the paper and the soft racoon hair has a great
water-holding capacity, making it ideal for watercolour painting.
The Pro Arte Stephen Coates Foliater is available in three sizes
- Small, Medium and Large - and as a set of three. This is a set of
three.youtube=qxNc6uSqxK8
