Pan Art Redly Wash Brush | 50mm | Black Hair | Long Handle | Pack of 1 - Washes

Cover big areas in smooth, even coats with fewer strokes. This Redly wash brush with a 50mm wide head has black synthetic hair, a long red handle with a hanging hole and a silver coloured metal ferrule, and this listing is a single brush. It suits acrylic colours, watercolours, gouache and poster colours.

A wash brush is a wide flat brush made to carry a lot of colour. Use the broad side to fill areas and the thin edge for straight lines. Soft synthetic hair holds liquid colour well and releases it evenly, which is why it is the usual choice for acrylic, watercolour and poster colour.

How to Use

1. If the hair feels stiff from a protective coating, rinse it in lukewarm water before first use.
2. Dampen the hair slightly and load colour on the lower half, not up to the ferrule.
3. Paint with light, even pressure and let the width of the head do the work.
4. Rinse in water with a little mild soap straight after painting, before acrylic dries in the hair.
5. Reshape the head and dry the brush flat or bristles up. Never leave it standing in the water jar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this Redly wash brush and what is in the pack?
It is 50mm wide, and the pack holds 1 brush.

How is 50mm different from the other sizes?
The Pan Art Redly range runs 50mm and 75mm. The 50mm head is the middle of the range, a good all rounder for A4 and A3 work. Choose 75mm for a little more. The short handle Redly with white hair comes in the same 50mm and 75mm widths.

Can I use this brush with oil paint?
It is made for acrylic colours, watercolours, gouache and poster colours. You can thin oil paint with it, but for thick oil and impasto a stiff bristle brush holds its shape better.

How do I keep the head in shape?
Clean it straight after painting, reshape the head with your fingers, and dry it flat or bristles up. Storing it on its bristles bends the head permanently.
