This versatile 1" wide brush is probably the best wash brush around. It holds a tremendous amount of paint which means you don't have to reload too often. Ideal for skies & large washes, it is also great for painting trees, bushes & leaves in the foreground. For best results, squeeze excess water out of the brush with your finger & thumb, pick upt he paint & then stipple. The resulting texture is similar to that achieved from using a sponge but the brush gives you more control. Author: Terry Harrison
