Made from high-quality, ultra soft bristles, the Waffle Flower Shader 1 brushes are round-tip brushes with bristles arranged at an angle for comfort and precision. For best results, apply in a "drag-n-lift" or "flicking" motion. As the name suggests, the plus versions allow you to apply a dense layer of ink, very quickly. We designed the original shader brushes for adding colors gradually, you can build up the density by applying multiple layers of ink. As for the new plus versions, they can help you color in really quickly, especially when using stencils. We recommend dedicating each brush to similar colors and dab off the excess ink on some scrap paper in between usage. These brushes are also washable with mild soap and under running water - be sure to keep the brushes pointing down to avoid water running into the barrel. Wooden handle might expand that could cause cracks on the paint during temperature/humidity change. What’s Included 5 x Shader 1 (1/2" slanted round tip)
