At last, the essential Correction and Special Effects tool for Watercolour Artists is finally here and available to order online now.
With Woolley’s Wonderbrush you can take control! Correct errors, lighten and remove unwanted objects - Make the corrections you never thought possible! Many special effects can be achieved with the Wonderbrush. Using thin cardboard as a mask to protect adjacent areas of your painting, highlights of any
shape can be reclaimed. For example, rays of sunlight can be created by scrubbing between two straight edges narrowly placed together. Circular, or similar, highlights (the orb of the sun, stones and rocks etc.) can be created by cutting out the appropriate shape in card and lightening with the Wonderbrush in the same manner.
Packs contain two sizes of the brush; Large and Small, and cost only £5 (+ £1 Carriage on orders made within UK / £2 on orders outside UK).
