The details
A size 4 travel brush that unscrews and packs into a pocket, ready the moment a scene is.
- Size 4 pointed tip in fine nylon, chosen for spring and water-holding
- Brass and ebony barrel with a short, balanced handle
- Unscrews and packs down small, fits a pocket, a pencil case or the smallest travel kit
- Designed in the traditional French style
The tip holds a generous load and returns to a clean point, so washes, fine detail and soft blending all come off this one brush, you are not carrying a roll of them to paint away from the desk.
It has the weight of a studio brush without the bulk, and it lives in a bag ready to go. That is usually the difference between painting the scene and photographing it.
Why it’s made this way
Everything we sell is chosen by a family of working artists in Arundel, West Sussex, picked because we’d use it ourselves, fairly priced, and backed by our 60-day free returns. If it doesn’t make painting easier, it doesn’t make the range.

Brushes this good deserve
to last decades
Rinse the same day
Pigment left overnight stiffens the belly of a brush, lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap keeps sable soft for years.
Reshape while damp
Draw the head to a point between finger and thumb and let it dry flat, never bristles-down in a jar.
Store dry, roll for travel
A canvas roll keeps ferrules dry and tips protected, it’s why we gift one with our kits.
Never let paint reach the ferrule
Load the belly, not the base. Dried paint under the metal splays the head permanently, the most common way a good brush dies.
Mix with an old brush
Keep one retired round for stirring and palette work; your fine tips stay fine for the marks that matter.
