Sceptre Gold II is a range of high quality brushes made from a mix of sable and synthetic fibres. They are ideal for working with water colour and fluid oil colour but are also suitable for use with acrylic, water mixable oil and Griffin alkyd fast drying oil colour. Made from a blend of pure sable and synthetic fibres gives you a performance that is close to sable, at a price that is close to synthetic. Sable hair has excellent spring whilst the high quality synthetic filaments ensure that the brushes are soft enough to work the colour but also have a strong snap so they return back to their original shape with ease. Flat Wash brushes are useful for bold, sweeping strokes, or on edge for fine lines.
