I'm not sure exactly what you are doing, but every platinum printer I
know (including myself) who has picked up the Richeson 9010 wash brush
has used nothing else after trying it. It is used soaking wet, soaks up
no extra coating solution, and allows extremely even coats to be laid
down on the watercolor paper we use. They make a 4 inch wide brush that
can easily coat sheets of the size you mentioned. check out :

Good luck
