The Large Mop’s Paces

A size 10 synthetic mop brush, the R28 Red Dot Large Mop, features an elegant quill design, with plastic and wire securing the hairs to hold more water. This brush creates both smooth washes with its broad side and fine details with its point. The Red Dot synthetic fibers have more spring than a squirrel or sable hair, helping the brush retain its form.

For Fine Details and Big Washes

We’ve loved experimenting with the R28 to make soft gradients for skies, blending colors smoothly. The brush can be lightly dragged or danced across the page for foreground details, creating delicate lines and expressive textures. A brush can be an extension of our arm and imagination. We love to explore the mark-making possibilities and hope you enjoy the R28 as much as we do.
