Silver Brush : Black Velvet : Squirrel & Risslon Brush : Series 3000S : Round : Size 12
Silver Brush Black Velvet brushes are made from a blend of Squirrel hair and a new type of synthetic filament called Risslon. Because they are blended, these premium short-handled brushes possess the durability and spring of a synthetic brush, and the liquid-holding capacity of a squirrel mop, making them a great investment for any watercolorist. They are designed for use with water-based paint; principally watercolor, inks, dyes and silk paints.
The black Risslon filaments are mounted in black ferrules. Just behind the ferrule, the brush bears a distinctive silver neck band which contrasts with the glossy black finish of the handle.
This is a Series 3000S Short-handled Round, Size 2.

The Black Velvet brushes are my absolute favorite for watercolor and ink. With a nice point, I find these are a great substitute for the more expensive large sized kolinsky sable rounds. They hold a lot of liquid and distribute water evenly onto cotton and cellulose papers. Squirrel hair makes for a softer brush so don't expect the firm snap of a full synthetic like golden taklon...thought I'd mention this since many artists are not fans of soft brushes. I own many sizes in the Black Velvet line and I purchase new ones whenever I can afford to. Looking forward to trying out the Dagger and Rigger brushes next. I would definitely recommend this brand to any watercolor artist. (Posted on 10/18/2022)Rating - Review by Melissa

Excellent brush - carries a lot of water and pigment and has good release. Can come to quite a fine point when wet. It handles like a mop when wet, definitely does not have the 'springiness' that synthetic or sable/sable blends/synthetic have - but this is a squirrel brush and a really nice one at that.Rating
