Prestige ™ Series 12 UF

Is a specialized brush series for porcelain painting. UF refers to “Utrecht-style” or “flat” made of high quality fine hair designated for specific application techniques

The "UF" series is essentially a flat, soft-hair brush designed for:

Wide Surface Application: Due to its flat shape and size, it is excellent for covering larger areas of porcelain with an even, smooth coat of paint or medium.

Glazing: Because of the hair's ability to hold and release paint consistently, it is highly effective for applying thin, transparent layers (glazes) without leaving streak marks.

Soft Transitions: Unlike square shaders which are often used for sharper definition, the "UF" flat brushes are frequently used for creating smooth gradients and softening transitions in background washes.

Large-Scale Work: Since the "12" indicates the size of the brush (the higher the number, the larger the width), a 12 UF is typically used for substantial areas, such as the backgrounds of plates, vases, or larger decorative pieces.

Key Characteristics

Hair Quality and natural quill: Like most professional Prestige brushes, the UF series is crafted with fine hair typically mounted in a natural goose quill, which provides a balance between spring and softness, ensuring that it moves paint across the slick surface of glazed porcelain without dragging, offering superior flexibility and prevents the hair from being pinched or damaged by a metal

Uniformity: The flat edge allows for broad, sweeping strokes that maintain consistent pressure, which is vital when working on large, curved porcelain surfaces.
