The Aqua Elite Prism is a 2025 addition to Princeton’s prestigious 4850 Series. It is an innovative specialty brush designed to offer a new level of control and creative expression. While standard Aqua Elite brushes mimic natural Kolinsky sable, the Prism takes that technology and applies it to a unique, multi-faceted shape.
Key Features:
Triangle Prism: Three innovative loading surfaces; each side holds a different colour for seamless blending, smooth transitions, and layered effects. Featuring a unique triangular ferrule that converges into a perfect point, ensuring shape retention stroke after stroke.
Triple-Color Loading: Because the brush has three sides, artists can load each side with a different pigment. This allows for effortless blending, complex transitions, and multi-dimensional effects (like variegated petals or leaves) in a single stroke.
Synthetic Kolinsky Technology: Uses Princeton’s NextGen synthetic fibres, which are indistinguishable from natural Kolinsky sable. They offer "oceans of color" capacity, a snappy "spring-back" feel, and incredible point retention.
Ultimate Versatility: * Large Washes: Use the flat sides for broad, fluid coverage.
Fine Details: Use the precision tip for crisp lines and intricate work.
Organic Shapes: Ideal for botanical painting, where the varying pressure on the triangular sides creates natural-looking foliage.
Ergonomic Handle: Features a short, matte black handle designed for comfort and precision during long painting sessions.
