Tintoretto 1420 Synthetic Amber – Flat Mottler Brush (Product Code 1420) An affordable and reliable workhorse for your studio's large surfaces and finishing touches! The Tintoretto 1420 is a high-quality yet budget-friendly flat mottler brush. It is specifically designed for rapid application and for situations where you want to protect your more expensive specialty brushes from wear and tear. Why is an affordable mottler brush an absolute necessity in every artist's and hobbyist's collection? A mottler is an extra-wide, flat brush essential for covering large areas. Processes such as priming canvases (gessoing), quickly blocking in backgrounds, gluing, and especially varnishing and lacquering a painting, are heavy-duty tasks that wear tools down quickly. By using a high-quality but affordable mottler for these rougher stages, you make a smart decision: you save your most valuable, handmade premium brushes for the delicate painting work, significantly extending their lifespan. What makes this brush exceptionally good? A selection of soft, medium-stretch amber synthetic fibers has been chosen for this brush. It can hold a good amount of fluid paint or varnish and release it delicately onto the paper or canvas without leaving unwanted streaks. It performs best on smooth surfaces like fine-grain canvas and paper, but when fully loaded with heavy paint, it also handles rough or highly absorbent surfaces exceptionally well. Usage Tips for an Affordable Mottler Brush: Varnishing and Lacquering: The smooth release of the synthetic fiber makes this an ideal tool for applying protective varnish or lacquer over a finished painting, ensuring a transparent and even finish.Rapid Backgrounds and Priming: Dip the wide brush into heavily diluted paint or primer to block in large areas of your canvas in seconds.Rough Techniques: Do not hesitate to use this brush for vigorous paint application or for working on coarse textures where you wouldn't dare risk a premium brush.
