Pro Arte Connoisseur Round Watercolour Brush – Series 100, Size 16

Regarded as one of Pro Arte's most prestigious ranges, Connoisseur blends sable with synthetic hair so the brush holds plenty of colour while keeping a sharp, responsive point. It handles fine detail and broad coverage equally well and performs much like a pure sable at a fraction of the price – a favourite for watercolour and gouache.

The round shape is wonderfully versatile: use the point for thin, precise lines and fine details, or apply more pressure for broader strokes. Larger sizes hold enough colour for background washes and wet-in-wet techniques.

This listing is for a single Pro Arte Connoisseur round brush in size 16, with a hair length of approximately 38mm.
