A soft goat-hair round for fluid watercolour marks and broad, gentle control.
Series 36 Japanese Bamboo is described by Rosemary as a goat round, which places it in the soft natural-hair category rather than the crisp-detail category. Goat hair brushes are valued for a gentle feel, good fluid delivery, and a capacity for soft, expressive marks; they are typically used in watercolour and other fluid media where softness is an asset. Compared with sable, this kind of brush generally has less spring and a more relaxed tip, but it can carry and release a generous amount of liquid. The “Japanese Bamboo” naming suggests a traditional-leaning presentation and likely a brush meant for expressive, fluid work rather than precision detail. In a hobby context, it is best understood as a soft brush for washes, loose marks, and broad control rather than tiny miniature detailing. [inferred]
What makes this brush special
This brush should feel soft, airy, and forgiving. The hair will bend more easily than sable or synthetic detail brushes, so the stroke tends to spread gently across the paper or surface. That makes it excellent for fluid application, but less suited to crisp edges. Paint and water should flow out smoothly, with a natural, less mechanical response. [inferred]

How we measure a brushA visual guide to the measurements shown in the size chart above.
These are the same measurements shown in the size chart above. Brush sizes are not standardised across brands, so use these dimensions when comparing brushes within a series or between manufacturers.
Tuft Length
The visible length of the brush hairs, measured from the ferrule to the tip.
Belly Diameter
The widest point of the brush head. On round brushes, this is the widest part of the belly.
Total Length
The full measurement from the tip of the brush to the end of the handle.
How to care for your brush
Clean carefully with lukewarm water and mild brush soap, then reshape lightly without forcing the hairs into a sharp point they are not designed to hold. Avoid hot water and never leave the brush standing in water, because soft natural hair loses shape quickly when neglected. Store flat or upright with the head protected. Because goat hair is softer than sable, it benefits from especially gentle handling and thorough drying after each wash. [inferred]
