Wide Shapers are specifically designed for large art applications and decorative effects. Available in widths from 1 inch to 3 inches, they have the Colour Shaper silicone tip in two degrees of flexibility:

  • Firm (grey tip)
  • Extra Firm (black tip)

There are 3 shapes of tip to choose from depending on the application you have in mind:

Works like a spatula. Use it in decorating to spread even layers of paint or adhesive. In fine art, it blends pastels, charcoal and soft graphite.

Works like a squeegee. Use the sharp end to carve paint, or to apply super thin layers - works as a Gesso brush for even surface application.

 

The slit edge adds unique textures to a paint surface. Use it for wood grain, patterns, and striping on canvas, paper, walls and furniture.
