Silver Brush Black Velvet Sizes & Sets Guide
Brush size numbers are not universal measurements. Choose around the scale of your paper, the marks you make and the amount of water you want to carry.
Round sizes
Silver Brush currently lists the Black Velvet 3000S round across a broad size range. A smaller round favors compact detail; a mid-size round is often the versatile workhorse; larger rounds carry more liquid and cover more area.
Current set patterns
The merchant currently lists multi-brush sets for beginning rounds, professional watercolor, backgrounds, essential strokes, travel and variety use. Contents and prices can change, so use this guide to decide the type of set you need, then verify the current contents.
| If you mostly paint… | Prioritize |
|---|---|
| Small botanical/detail work | Pointed rounds + liner |
| Landscapes and skies | Mid/large round + wash shape |
| Mixed subjects | Round-centered variety set |
| On location | Travel-format options |
