BR26. W&N Sceptre Gold 101 Brush
W&N Sceptre Gold 101 Brush, Round, Short Handle
For fine detail, lines & washes. A traditional and popular head shape for all-purpose water color work. Can be used for broad strokes yet it will also form a sharp point. They possess excellent color holding capacity, sensitivity, spring and durability.
High quality brushes made from a mix of sable and synthetic fibres. They are ideal for water color and suitable for use with acrylic. For watercolor media, while today's synthetic brushes perform excellently, pure sable still has the edge. With a blend you can get performance that is close to sable at a price that is close to synthetic. The blend of hair in Sceptre Gold II also gives you added benefits. Sable hair has excellent spring while the high quality synthetic filaments ensure that the brushes are soft enough to work the color but also have a strong snap so they return back to their original shape with ease. The high proportion of sable in Sceptre Gold II gives the brushes considerably more ability to make larger washes in one stroke than normal synthetic brushes, and the hairs are tapered to a fine point, giving the brush control for detailed work.

BR30. Cotman Round WC Brush
Cotman Round Water Color Brush.
Synthetic brush that is slightly stiffer than sable. Recommended by Lisa Engelbrecht; she especially likes the #8. The secret of the Cotman Bushes, from Winsor & Newton, lies in the fibers. By blending fibers of differing thickness, we achieve the three most important qualities sought by the artist. The thicker fibers contribute strength and spring, while the thinner fibers improve color carrying capacity (which have recently been improved by 50%). The two fibers together retain their point, time after time.

PS04. Frankfurt Paper 19x25
Frankfurt
19"x25". pH neutral. Choose White, Cream.
A mixture of cotton and high alpha cellulose. Sheets have three deckle edges and one cut edge. High alpha cellulose A very pure form of wood pulp which is considered to have the same longevity as cotton or other plant fibers.
This beautiful wavy laid paper is a favorite of Jean Formo. She uses it in her walnut ink classes. I find it easy to erase. Some inks allow correction with a white plastic eraser!

PS84. New Diploma Parchment
New Diploma Parchment. Machine-made in the US, 100% cotton fiber, warm off-white (beige), pH neutral. Smooth wove finish. 177gsm. Specify size: 17"x22" or 34"x22".
17x22 Price Break at 10 or more sheets.
This bestselling archival sheet is now even better. Easy to write on and a little thicker than most text weight papers, it is great for certificates and one-off pieces. A paper you will use again & again. Give it a try. The New Diploma Parchment is a warm beige (off-white) and recommended by Vivian Mungall. The old Diploma Parchment was a yellowish cream.
"This paper is beautiful. When I first put my pen on this paper I was amazed at how lovely it is, much better than the old Diploma Parchment. I create many corporate documents (resolutions), and I like how the paper gilds and takes paint. We print logos with our Epson 3800 (a small professional printer) and the paper takes the ink beautifully. There is no feathering or bleeding. It is the same with the ink from my pen. The new Diploma Parchment has been great. I recommend it. It is a nice weight and is also fine for handmade books." - Rosemary Buczek.
