SIGNATURE BRUSHES
Thierry Duval
“Since when I started practicing watercolour, more than 40 years ago, I’ve been able to test and work with many brushes, of all shapes and fibres. However, it’s been some years, with my daily practice of this technique, that I started dreaming of having the perfect tools ideal for my realist and precise style. Tintoretto has offered me this opportunity. After many tests and prototypes, we succeeded in developing these 4 great watercolour brushes.
The handles’ weight is increased respecting to the usual brushes on the market, this is done so that the hand can hold a firmer grip in order to facilitate and enable a better flow. The colour, ultramarine Blue, is always present in my watercolours and, together with matt golden ferrules, make these brushes objects of excellent quality and elegance.”

“This brush is perfect for the “wash” technique. Its shape with slightly rounded borders has been created specifically in collaboration with Tintoretto using Thin synthetic fibre. This tool is ideal for washes made with wet on wet technique. The shape, having a rounded section, softens the brush strokes when laying colours down, this is extremely useful in order to obtain great nuanced backgrounds. This mottler is also perfect to handle colour retreats, for example uncovering the paper’s whites in the sky and therefore creating clouds.”
