A five-brush soft mop set for washes, blending, lifting, and soft edge control in watercolour and other media.
The Mundy Mops are a purpose-made family of soft mop brushes developed for controlled blending and gentle paint handling. A mop brush is not a general detail brush; it is a soft, fuller brush used to carry water, spread washes, soften edges, lift colour, and smooth transitions. That makes this set especially useful for painters working in watercolour, and it also has a strong role in oils and acrylics when softening or blending is required.
A five-brush set gives the painter a useful size range, so they can work from small softening tasks through to broader wash application. The oval mop shape gives more control than a round mop, which is helpful when you want softness without losing direction. The value of the set is in its versatility as a blending toolset: these are the brushes you reach for when you want to reduce hard edges, pull pigment, or apply gentle washes. For many painters, that makes the set one of the most practical and quietly important in the range.
What makes this brush special
This set should feel soft, absorbent, and highly controllable for a mop family. The brushes are designed to hold water and move pigment smoothly rather than snap sharply. Their oval shape gives better directional control than a traditional round mop, and the size progression makes the set useful across different working scales. The overall impression is one of calm, fluid control.

How to care for your brush
Mop brushes are soft by nature, so they should be cleaned gently. Rinse them thoroughly in cool or lukewarm water after use and avoid rubbing or forcing the hairs into a point. Use mild soap if pigment has settled into the body of the brush. Because the set is soft and absorbent, do not leave it soaking in water or solvent. After cleaning, reshape the mop lightly and let it dry naturally. Store the set with enough space that the fibres are not crushed, ideally flat or in a roll. Good care will preserve the softness that makes these brushes so effective for blending and washes.
