Multiple Round and Wash sizes allow artists to move from the smallest details to broad areas of color while maintaining excellent control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Trekell premium synthetic brushes, the brushes in this set feature blends of varying filament diameters with carefully tapered tips designed to more closely mimic the performance of natural brush hair. Unlike lower-quality synthetic brushes made with uniform, blunt-cut filaments, this construction provides improved paint pickup, smoother paint flow, and more responsive handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e8-Piece Brush Set Includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtégé Synthetic Kolinsky Rounds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) #2\/0 Protégé Round (7500-2\/0)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) #1 Protégé Round (7500-1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) #3 Protégé Round (7500-3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) #6 Protégé Round (7500-6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtégé Synthetic Kolinsky Washes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 3\/8\" Protégé Wash (7510-3\/8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 1\/2\" Protégé Wash (7510-1\/2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 5\/8\" Protégé Wash (7510-5\/8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGolden Taklon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) #6 Golden Taklon Filbert (2020-6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy These Brushes Work Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eProtégé Rounds\u003c\/strong\u003e are shaped with the full belly and fine needle-point tip associated with traditional Kolinsky sable brushes. Their firmer synthetic filament provides strong snap and quick recovery with less play than natural hair, giving gouache painters excellent control for fine lines, precise details, layering, controlled fills, and expressive marks. The range of sizes makes it easy to move between tiny details and larger applications without changing the familiar feel of the Round shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eProtégé Washes\u003c\/strong\u003e provide broader coverage while maintaining the controlled response of the Protégé filament.
