Mercurius Ergonomic Egg-Handled 16mm Flat Paintbrush | Synthetic Cow Hair 

A flat watercolour paintbrush with an ergonomic egg-shaped handle designed to sit comfortably in small hands. The rounded wooden handle makes the brush easy to grip and control, helping children paint with confident, relaxed movements during art activities.

The flat 16mm brush head is ideal for painting broad strokes, washes and blocks of colour, making it especially suited to wet-on-wet watercolour painting.

Designed for Comfortable Grip
The distinctive egg-shaped handle is made from FSC-certified birch wood and finished with a natural wax coating. This protective finish helps prevent water and paint from damaging the wood while maintaining a natural texture that improves grip.

The rounded handle provides a secure, comfortable grip, making the brush easy for young children to hold and particularly helpful for people with developing motor skills or physical disabilities.

Synthetic Cow Hair Bristles
The innovative synthetic bristles are designed to replicate the properties of traditional ox or cow hair brushes. These fibres absorb water and paint effectively while releasing colour in a smooth, controlled flow.

This makes the brush particularly well suited for watercolour painting, gouache and ink washes, where soft blending and fluid colour transitions are important, especially in Waldorf-inspired wet-on-wet painting techniques.

Synthetic fibres are durable, vegan-friendly and highly resistant to wear. They retain their shape well even with frequent use in classrooms or art studios.
