Crafters Choice 9700 Long Shader - 1/2 is the smaller of the two Crafter's Choice square/shader brushes that we carry. This brush is great for blending or floating color, stroke work and shading. Each Crafter's Choice Brush is made with gold taklon hair, and a pearlized polymer long handle that is slightly shorter in length than standard lengths. The durable handles feature a soft rubber grip for extra comfort while painting. These brushes are great for kids because of the fun blue colored handle and soft gripper, but also nice for adult use because of the long handle length.
