Loose Watercolor Brush Set KUM x loosegemalt

What is Loose Watercolor?

Loose Watercolor isn't about rendering motifs in detail, realistically and perfectly — instead, free shapes are painted with a few loose brushstrokes. Here you can consciously let go of control, since the watercolours will run wherever they want anyway. It's a letting-go of perfection and reality, toward abstraction and simplified representation.

The set contains:

- KUM Memory Point Round - size 4

- KUM French Aqua - size 4

- KUM French Aqua - size 8

For loose painting, a brush is best with a relatively large size and a fine tip, so the same brush can paint both thin and thick lines. That lets you work especially fast, which is a big advantage when painting freer shapes.

French Aqua - size 8

This wash brush was developed to effortlessly paint larger areas and backgrounds. Its exceptional holding capacity and especially soft fibres make it the perfect wash brush.

Memory Point Round - size 4

A versatile brush with a fine tip that rounds out the wash brushes perfectly, for precise details and as an all-rounder. Its excellent elasticity gives you a high level of control over the brush.

French Aqua - size 4

The smaller wash brush is perfect for controlled glazing and blending in smaller, detailed areas. With its very soft fibres, it's the ideal companion to the size-8 French Aqua.
