Description Heritage Series 4050 Synthetic Sable Short Handled Brushes Princeton’s flagship brush. More than 20 years ago, Heritage Series 4050 was the first synthetic sable to be offered to artists. A perfect blend of golden taklon in multiple diameters, Heritage was developed for Princeton by master Japanese brush-maker Naohide Takamoto, the “Tak” in “taklon”. This brush drinks up gulps of water, paints supple strokes and has a natural snap. Angular Brights/Shaders: Used for tight shading and curved strokes. Brights: Length and width of brush is generally squared. Similar to flats, but shorter hairs make a stiffer brush. Fans: Brush fibers are spread out making it useful for subtle blending and for textural effects. Filbert/Cat’s Tongue: Create a softer edge than a flat or bright. Flats: Longer hairs than a bright, this brush has more flex and a large color carrying capability. Grainers: Grainers produce a repetitive pattern of thin lines. Liners: Similar to rounds, but with longer hairs. Liners have a large color carrying capacity and makes long, fluid strokes. Rounds: Smaller sizes are typically used for detail work and larger sizes tend to be used for washes and filling in color. Strokes: Strokes have long, rectangular ends, a large color carrying capacity and create long, fluid strokes. Washes: A wide, flat brush used primarily to lay-in large amounts of color, to wet paper, or for blending. Related
