BK63-8 - Royal & Langnickel Big Kid's Choice Size 8 Flat Shader Brush

This Big Kid's Choice™ Flat Shader BK63 Series brush (widely cataloged across schools and educational supply programs as Lil Grippers) was specially designed for kids. This series is bright and colorful with translucent red color coding to indicate that the shape of the brush is a flat shader. It features a short, thick handle and a no-slip Soft-Grip™ handle for added control for small hands. Made from quality synthetic taklon for fine points, sharp line control, and resilient snap.

Not only for kids: These are great brushes for students and adults also. Older adults find these much easier to hold, especially if they have arthritis, carpal tunnel, or reduced dexterity in their hands. As a versatile medium-large flat shader, the Size 8 excels at smooth base-coating, one-stroke shading, blending larger areas, and laying down crisp, sharp chisel edges.
