Chelsea Classical Studio Nuovo Long Handle Professional Paint Brush - Filbert #6

Imagine a brush that eliminates the various problems associated with the current modern brush. A brush that provides better control, convenience, balance and function. A brush so Unique that the introduction of it represents a new birth of superior Painting brushes. The modern easel brush has a long 12” (30cm) tapered handle and a seamless, flattened ferrule that Allows artists to Stand away from the easel by holding the brush at the end of the handle. This Design has remained largely unchanged for the past 300 years, not becaUse it is ideal but becaUse it was the universAlly accepted way to make a brush. However, this Design has several distinct problems. Although many brushes claim to provide a balanced experience, this is only true when gripped a few inches from the ferrule. This obviously defeats the purpose of the easel brush. Instead of finding yourself taking advantage of the brush’s length, you find yourself, through trial and error, holding the brush near the ferrule, where it is most comfortable and at its widest diameter. If you hold the brush at its end, the handle tends to flop down causing a loss of control and requiring you to hold the brush extremely firm just to make the stroke. This is becaUse the Weight is All in the front of the brush. BecaUse of this, the pointed end of the handle essentiAlly serves no purpose at All.
