The Princeton Select Artiste Fix-It Brush (Series 3750) is a specialized, short-handled, synthetic brush designed to remove excess color, soften edges, and correct mistakes in watercolor, acrylic, and oil paintings. Featuring a stiff, pointed, round head, it acts as a "scrubber," allowing artists to lift paint while also being effective for drybrush techniques and scumbling. 

Key Features & Uses

• Purpose: Primarily designed to "fix" errors by scrubbing off paint, this brush is an essential tool for adjusting, lifting, and blending colors.
• Stiffness: While synthetic, the hair is compactly set, providing a stiffer feel than many other brushes, which is essential for lifting pigment without damaging the paper or canvas.
• Shape: Round, with a sharp, tapered point allowing for both precise removal and controlled, textured strokes.
• Versatility: Ideal for drybrush work, creating textures (like fur or grass), and for use in mixed media, oil, acrylic, and watercolor.
• Design: Part of the Select Artiste line, it features a distinctive satin-finish, jewel-tone blue handle and a nickel-plated brass ferrule.
• Size: Generally available as a size 2, making it ideal for fine-tuning details. 
   

Usage Tips

• Avoid Overworking: Because it is designed to remove paint, avoid working too long in one spot or applying excessive pressure to prevent ruining the painting's surface.
• Best Techniques: Use for lifting watercolor, creating texture in acrylics, and softening oil paint edges.
