Synthetic general purpose round. Versatile, affordable daily-use brush for all media.
The Da Vinci Nova Series 1570 is a general-purpose synthetic round brush suitable for watercolour, acrylic, and general painting. Part of Da Vinci's Nova range, it offers solid German quality in an affordable synthetic format.
The 1570 is a workhorse brush — not a specialist, but a reliable performer for everyday painting tasks. Good point retention, decent paint capacity, and durable synthetic fibres make it suitable for studio utility, practice sessions, and any situation where a dependable brush is needed without the cost of natural hair. For hobby painters, it serves well for basecoating, applying washes, and general acrylic work.

How to care for your brush
Rinse after use. Clean with brush soap periodically. Synthetic fibres are forgiving and durable. Standard brush care extends the life significantly. Reshape after washing and store normally.
