BK66-8 - Royal & Langnickel Big Kid's Choice Size 8 Oval Filbert Brush

This Big Kid's Choice™ Oval Filbert BK66 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 yellow color coding to indicate that the shape of the brush is an oval filbert. 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 spring.

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 the largest oval filbert in the BK66 series, the Size 8 excels at broad soft-edge washes, seamless background blending, large floral petals, and soft figurative modeling without harsh brush marks.
