There are lots of watercolorists who live by these: John Hoar is the one that comes to mind immediately. He uses only a filbert xl plus a dagger. Svetlana Orinko is another. Svetlana paints a lot of flowers, birds, etc. John Hoar paints landscapes, buildings, marinescapes sometimes still lifes. Their subjects are worlds apart, techniques as well, yet they use the same type of brushes! These brushes require a little practice to use at first... it's like they're a filbert brush with half their bristles missing! They are terrific once you get the hang of them. Cat tongues are remarkable and unique structures well designed to suit their needs.

These types of paint brushes come in many sizes; The smallest being a 20/0 and climbing all the way up to size #10. Mostly they are used for strokework and watercolor. This one is invaluable as a teaching tool for perfecting brush control. Daggers are sign painting brushes, traditionally made with squirrel. Also they are pin striping brushes. Flats are the types of paint brushes you’ll use the most often in your painting projects. You’ll use them for basecoating, floating, strokework, blending, washes and varnishing.First, though, they would need cat tongues. Obtaining samples from deceased domestic cats was straightforward. Getting the tongues of wild cats, not so much. A cat’s tongue is covered in hundreds of sharp, scoop-shaped spines made of keratin that spring into action during grooming. Until now we haven’t really known why their tongues are so rough. The findings could also be used to develop a new hairbrush for human grooming. “We’ve already submitted a technology disclosure form and intend to file a patent within the next year,” said Noel.

A filbert is a flat brush but it has a chiseled rounded edge instead of a straight one. Sort of like a cat’s tongue. When you look at the brush from the chiseled edge, the hairs should form an even oval edge.

To me a cat’s tongue or a filbert is nothing like a mop, unless maybe you ran it over, since it also has a flat ferrule. A filbert will give you much, much more control than a mop.

Loaded with inky consistency paint, the round part acts as a reservoire and the liner is, well...a liner. By holding it almost perpendicular to the surface and using varying amounts of pressure, you'll have loads of fun with this one! It comes in Sizes #4, #6 and #8. They discovered that, for optimal grooming, the papillae need to penetrate through the fur layer and reach the skin so that the saliva can get to the root of the hairs.
