As new materials have become available they have used their experience to produce new ranges of brushes, each with their own benefits. Cotman brushes were the first complete range of synthetic brushes to be developed by Winsor & Newton. The secret of the Cotman brush lies in the fibres. By blending fibres of differing thickness Winsor & Newton achieve the three most important qualities sought after by the artist. The thicker fibres contribute strength and spring whilst the thinner fibres improve colour carrying capacity. Together they retain a perfect point, time after time. The Cotman Series 888 Fan brush has almost semi-circular shape best for use with water colour for blending and soften edges. Fans are finishing brushes., popular in water colour for dry brush techniques like stippling and feathering grass of hair effects. All Fan brushes come with golden synthetic tip dyed filaments, attached by nickel plated seamless ferrules to metallic blue gloss wooden short handles. Available in sizes: 2, 4 & 6 Review: You can use this tool to make a smeary mess, then give yourself a big pat on the back. - These brushes can help you make a nice painting if you are not an untalented idiot, as most of the people who use these things think they are gods just because they call themselves artists or such things. Beware of the people who use these tools, they will try to trick you into giving them money for a smeary mess they made under the guise that they are expressing themselves. Only one in a thousand people who use these tools deserve to be alive, really. I am that one person in a thousand because the smeary messes I make with these tools are superior to almost all other smeary messes. It's a sad world that values self expression over skill, but the users of these tools have an edge over politicians, the only group of people more vain and incompetent than artists.
