The Winsor & Newton Cotman Series 555 Long Handled Flat for oil or acrylic colour. This shape (in sable) was developed in the late 19th century for the Newlyn School of painters.The thin short head takes full advantage of the spring of soft hair. Ideal for delicate applications and square marks on canvas.
The secret of Cotman lies in the special blend of synthetic filaments of differing thickness. Recent improvements in this process have enabled Winsor & Newton to improve on spring, colour carrying capacity and point.
Seamless nickel plated ferrules. Metallic blue polished handles.
