8810S Silver Silk 88® Cats Tongue Some artists say that owning a cats tongue brush is like 3 having brushes in one because of how versatile this shape can be. Use the point for fine lines, details and painting in tight spaces, turn it on its side for medium sized tapered strokes or lay it flat for broader strokes that cover a wide area. Botanical artists love it for its leaf-like shape that makes press and release flower petals a breeze! This shape also lends itself to feathers, scales, and portraiture. You can often complete an entire painting with just this one brush.
Specific Way to Clean the Brush:
- Be sure to clean your brushes after each painting session. Letting paint dry in the brush can cause it to not perform as expected.
- Rinsing the head of the brush with warm water should be enough to remove most watercolor paints, gouache, inks or dyes but an artist-grade brush cleaner can be used to make sure all traces of pigment have been cleaned off.
- NEVER leave your brush resting in water! This can cause the handle to crack.
- Always lay your brush flat to dry.
