The all rounder that fits in your pocket. The Art Spectrum Travel Brush Size 6 pairs high quality synthetic hair with a nickel plated brass ferrule and a silver metal case that keeps the point safe on the road.

If you only take one brush on holiday, make it this one. A Size 6 round holds enough paint for a small sky or a sea, then comes back to a point for a gull, a fence post or a figure on the beach.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip
Learn to paint with one brush. Spend a week sketching with only the Size 6. Press down for broad strokes, lift onto the tip for lines. You will be amazed how much one good round can do, and your kit gets lighter at the same time.

Art Spectrum builds this brush for painting in nature or while travelling. The metal case doubles as hair protection, and a breather hole lets air move when the cap is on, so you are not packing away a brush that stays damp for days.

On paper, Art Spectrum promises an exact tip, excellent shape retention and good liquid holding capacity. In the field, that means fewer trips back to the water jar and a point you can trust.

Why We Love the Size 6 Travel Brush

  • One brush, many jobs. Small washes and fine lines from the same round.
  • Travel proof. A silver metal case protects the hair.
  • Keeps its shape. Excellent shape retention, says Art Spectrum.
  • Easy to dry. A breather hole ventilates the capped brush.

How We Use It

Load the brush fully, then touch the belly to a tissue if you want a drier stroke. Rinse well, reshape the point and cap it.

Take it out with a small set of watercolour paints or gouache, and a watercolour paper pad. See all our watercolour brushes.
