Winsor Newton Marta brush. Pointed round. Long lead. Natural sable hair selected for wet techniques, especially watercolour, gouache, inks or gouache. The Winsor Newton Marta brush is characterised by its extraordinary absorption, consistency in use and elasticity of the hair, maintaining the tip unalterable in each use.
Winsor Newton is a historic manufacturer specialising in high quality brushes for artwork. Since 1866, the British company has been producing what is considered to be the best watercolour brush in the world.
We highlight in our shop the Artist quality Red Sable, a quality version of this natural hair but at a more affordable price. The tip of the brush is finished in a consistent beak that is maintained during use, has a fabulous consistency and elasticity, recovering its original shape. It allows correct control with a certain degree of tension between the brush and the paint surface. In use the colour flows evenly and consistently from the tip, and the body of the brush has sufficient capacity to allow the artist to make gestural and fluid paint strokes.
