Ox hair brushes, long handle - 5 pieces
For oil and acrylic - 3 round and 2 flat, long handles.
Set of 5 Talens Art Creation brushes made of ox hair for oil and acrylic: 3 round and 2 flat, long handles. Stiffness and high color retention.
The ox hair is one of the classic choices for artist brushes, positioned precisely between hog bristle and sable.
More flexible than hog bristle, it applies color with fewer brush marks. More stiff than synthetic, it retains its shape after each stroke instead of becoming limp. Most importantly, its natural, hollow, and scaly fiber holds much more paint than synthetic fibers. This allows you to work longer without reloading, and the color is applied more evenly.
A set that covers the entire process:
- Fine round brush No. 6 - Details, contours, signatures, touch-ups, fine lines.
- Wide round brushes with pointed tips No. 10 and 14: - General work: modeling, curves, fills, expressive strokes. The tip allows you to switch from wide to fine without changing tools.
- Flat brushes No. 10 and 14: Clean flat areas, backgrounds, sharp edges, flat impastos. On the edge, they provide a fine and precise line.
The handles are long, as required for oil and acrylic painting. This is not a detail: painting on an easel requires you to stand back from the canvas to assess the whole. A long handle allows you to paint with an outstretched arm, using a gesture from the shoulder rather than the wrist, which gives breadth to the stroke.
Features:
- Ox hair, natural
- Long handle, varnished wood
- Metal ferrule crimped
- Assortment of 5 brushes: 3 round (No. 6, 10, 14) + 2 flat (No. 10, 14)
- Ideal for oil, acrylic, gouache, mixed techniques
- Brand: Talens Art Creation
FAQ about ox hair brushes
Is it suitable for watercolor? Ox hair works for watercolor, but these brushes have long handles, which are less practical for flat work on a table. For watercolor, prefer short handles.
What advantage does it have over a synthetic brush? The color retention. The natural, hollow, and scaly fiber holds much more paint: you reload less often and the color is applied more evenly.
How to dry them? Reshape the bristles, then let them dry flat or tip down. A brush that dries tip up retains water in the ferrule, which loosens.
