ROSA Stream 158 Pocket Travel Watercolour Brush, Round, Detachable Cap Handle, Plein Air & Sketching

ROSA Stream 158 Pocket Travel Watercolour Brush — fits in your pocket, works like a full studio brush. Made for plein air painting and urban sketching.

About this brush

The ROSA Stream 158 is a pocket-sized travel watercolour brush built for artists who paint on the move. The clever design features a short metal handle with a protective cap: to use the brush, simply detach the working part from the handle and reverse the cap — it becomes the extended handle, bringing the brush to full working length. Compact enough for a pencil case or jacket pocket, this is the brush you reach for on location, at a café table, or on a plein air session where every gram counts.

The elastic, soft black synthetic bristles hold their rounded point reliably after wetting, giving you confident control whether you're laying a loose wash across a sky or picking out fine architectural detail. The round shape and very soft synthetic fibre make this brush equally at home with broad strokes and precise marks — a true one-brush solution for sketching in the field.

Produced by ROSA, a Ukrainian art materials manufacturer with over 25 years of experience supplying professional artists across Europe and beyond.
