• Made by Art Brush Industries under the Arora brand, an established Indian brush maker

• Works well with watercolour, acrylic, gouache, and other water-based paints
• Great for students, hobbyist painters, and detail-focused craft work

A No-1 flat brush is the smaller sibling to the larger flats in a set, built for the moments a broad brush is too clumsy but you still want a crisp, straight edge rather than the rounded stroke of a liner. The taklon hair bristles are synthetic, so they hold their shape well, spring back after each stroke, and clean up easily without shedding.

Rinse it gently in water right after use, reshape the bristles between your fingers while damp, and let it dry lying flat or bristle-up so it keeps its crisp edge for your next painting session, whether that is on canvas, paper, or a small craft project.

Pairing a No-1 with a larger flat brush from the same range gives you both broad coverage and fine control in one kit, useful for anyone working on layered paintings, lettering, or geometric patterns that need crisp, small scale edges alongside bigger blocks of colour.
