The advent of synthetics and the development of Prolene gave Pro Arte a major advance and provided artists with a more affordable alternative to pure sables. Whilst the financial savings were obvious, there was a slight downside. Pure synthetics, even with their incredible pointing capabilities and durability, did not have quite the ability to carry fluid as sables can. Pro Arte addressed this problem and found the missing factor…unsurprisingly, it was sable!
Pro Arte R&D worked for a long time adding and testing different amounts of sable to a synthetic brush. The exact ratio proved critical – and variable size for size. The good news was that a little goes a long way in large sizes and proportionally more can be added to small sizes which need an inverse ratio. This was fortuitous. With sable, being expensive, it meant we could afford to boost each brush size correctly on this formula without pricing any of them out of reach of those for whom cost is a consideration.
These beautiful one stroke brushes are manufactured from the same high-grade mixture that we incorporate into our Series 100 rounds. Where precision of stroke is required they have no equal.
Seamless nickel ferrules. Black polished handles with red and white tips.
