Although brought right up-to-date in the shape of this Winsor & Newton Cotman Series 666 One Stroke Brush, the one stroke was originally designed for sign writers, to execute the mark in ‘one stroke'. It is now a popular shape with many watercolourists, who use this brush for washes, in addition to rounds. The One Stroke also makes a unique chisel edge flat mark, e.g. upright grasses.
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.
