ROSEMARY ECLIPSE FANS BRUSH SIZE 4 (SHORT HANDLE)
ROSEMARY & CO is a family run business in England that makes fantastic travel brushes and other brushes for watercolour artists.
The Eclipse is 100% synthetic range is Vegan Friendly and made to mimic natural mongoose which is stiffer than sable, yet softer than bristle.
They are great for Oils, Gouache, Acrylics and Watermixable Oils.
The Classics are made from 90% bristle, 10% synthetic. The synthetic mix in there allows for more spring and helps when cleaning the brush.
Fan brushes use a special ferrule which spreads the hairs to form a fan shape. Used for several effects including grasses, fur and often for blending.
This blend of bristle and strong synthetic is ‘interlocked’ allowing the brush to retain it’s original shape for much longer.
Start with wiping your brushes on a rag or paper towel. You should then wash them thoroughly with a good soap. (You can use olive oil soap for example). To clean them thoroughly you can use a dish soap (in England we call it fairy liquid), or overseas you may have Murphys Oil Soap or Dawn. Don’t endorse the use of mineral spirits or solvents. They are a known brush killer. Oil cleans oil, so safflower, rapeseed & linseed oils should work too.
