TINTORETTO Emerald Taklon Round Brush 18 By Thierry Duval

The TINTORETTO Emerald Taklon Round Brush 18 by Thierry Duval is a beautifully engineered brush that brings together precision, control, and elegance, reflecting the essence of the Thierry Duval series. Created through close collaboration between Tintoretto and the renowned watercolour artist, this brush is designed to meet the demands of expressive yet finely controlled watercolour painting.

The brush features a generously sized round head with a finely tapered tip, allowing for both broad, fluid washes and accurate, controlled strokes. Made with Emerald synthetic fibres, it offers a perfect combination of elasticity and softness, enabling the tip to return effortlessly after each stroke while holding an impressive amount of colour. Paint is released smoothly and evenly, making it possible to cover large areas without constantly returning to the palette, while still achieving precise edges when needed.

Thierry Duval’s more than 40 years of experience in watercolour painting informed every aspect of this brush’s development. Through extensive testing and refinement, Tintoretto and Duval crafted a tool that supports the subtle control and flow required for his realist style. The handle is slightly heavier than standard brushes, giving the hand a firm, balanced grip that enhances stability and fluidity during painting. Its ultramarine blue finish, paired with matte golden ferrules, gives the brush a distinctive and elegant appearance that matches its professional performance.

The TINTORETTO Emerald Taklon Round Brush 18 is both a practical and sophisticated tool, offering artists a perfect balance between capacity, precision, and responsiveness, making it ideal for creating expansive washes with the same finesse required for detailed work.
