Series 5073 brushes feature very elastic grey fibres and have a high colour absorbing capacity. The green matte handles come from sustainable forests and is perfectly balanced in the hand. The mottler shape is ideal for blocking out large areas of paint and varnishing, and these all purpose brushes work especially well with fluid painting, washes, backgrounds and underpainting. Brushes are handmade in Germany at the da Vinci family owned factory since 1890.
