Watercolour places specific demands on a brush: it needs to hold enough water and pigment to complete a wash without reloading, release paint smoothly and evenly, and return to a fine point after each stroke. The selection at DeSerres covers the full range of bristle types suited to watercolour work: Kolinsky sable for its exceptional water retention and point; synthetic fibres for a reliable, accessible option that performs well across most techniques; camel hair for soft, fluid washes; and natural hair mops and wash brushes for large-format work where paint volume matters most. Shapes include rounds for detail and general work, mops and oval wash brushes for broad washes, liners for continuous line work, and fans for texture and blending. Individual brushes and sets are available across a wide range of sizes and price points. For the full brush and painting tool selection, visit Paintbrushes and Brushes and Painting Tools.
