Info
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. They are designed for use with water-based paint; principally watercolor, inks, dyes and silk-painting.
The black Risslon filaments are mounted in black ferrules. The end of the sleek black handle is bevelled and can be used for burnishing and scraping
This is a Series 3008S Short-handled Square Wash brush with a flat brush-head. The width of the brush-head is Size 1/2in.

Not a fan of the Silver Brush Black Velvet line. I bought a few of these along with Princeton's Velvet Touch brushes for watercolor but didn't like either. The black barrel and ferrel of these brushes makes it easy to not notice if paint or water has travelled up the brush. The hairs hold a decent amount of water, but if you're looking for natural hair brushes, don't settle for these. The handle of these brushes feels cheap and weren't comfortable to hold.

Absolutely excellent! I bought some of these based on Steve from Mind of Watercolor’s recommendation on his channel and love of them and I haven’t been disappointed! The 1/2 inch flat has been excellent and a really good starting size for flats. The size 8 round is my favourite and the most versatile. I’d say if you’re a beginner and want one or two brushes, the size 8 round from this brand is an absolute must! And I also ordered the size 4 script liner which I haven’t had much use of yet but will probably use for trees. Want to order the size 2 because it will probably be more useful for me. Overall, favourite brushes EVER.
