The Black Velvet series by Silver Brush Limited is known for offering artists freedom of movement with precise control, and the Dagger Striper is one of its most expressive tools.
The Silver Black Velvet 3012S Dagger Striper 3/8'' features a distinctive angled dagger shape that allows artists to shift seamlessly between fine lines, broader strokes and sharp edges in a single motion. Its long hairs hold enough water and pigment to support continuous, flowing strokes without frequent reloading.
The premium blend of natural squirrel hair and black synthetic fibers (black risslon) provides smooth paint release combined with the elasticity needed for responsive pressure control. This makes the brush ideal for curves, leaves, stems, expressive accents and dynamic line work.
Soft enough for multiple glazing layers without disturbing previous washes, yet resilient enough for effective color lifting, this brush adapts effortlessly to advanced watercolor techniques. The short, well-balanced handle ensures comfort and stability during both slow and energetic movements.
A brush designed for artists who paint with movement and intention.
