Long-handled hog bristle brushes - set of 10
Long-handled hog bristle brushes - set of 10
4 rounds (2, 6, 10, 14), 2 filberts (8, 12), 4 flats (6, 10, 14, 18)
This set includes 10 long-handled hog bristle brushes covering a full range from size 2 to size 18, including the three main shapes used in easel painting. Hog bristle is the traditional fibre for oil painting and remains unmatched. While synthetic brushes lay down a smooth, uniform coat, hog bristle captures the movement of the arm in the paint. Brush marks stay visible, the paint gains texture, and light catches the surface. This gives an oil painting its physical presence.
It is also a strong fibre, designed for scrubbing, pressing, and working on textured canvas. It withstands turpentine and repeated cleaning, softening over time without losing its firmness.
Set contents:
- 4 rounds (sizes 2, 6, 10 and 14): precise brushes with pointed tips that switch from broad to fine strokes without changing tools.
- 2 filberts (sizes 8 and 12): the most multifunctional shape. Flat, they cover areas; on edge, they draw fine lines; their rounded tips blend strokes without sharp angles.
- 4 flats (sizes 6, 10, 14 and 18): for solid coverage, sharp edges, and thick paint layers. Size 18 covers large areas, size 6 remains precise on edge.
This set is made for oil painting, where hog bristle is essential. It also suits thick acrylics and decorative painting. For perfectly smooth coverage or very diluted acrylics, synthetic fibres work better.
Talens, quality guaranteed since 1899: This historic Dutch art brand offers the Art Creation range, reliable and affordable for regular use.
FAQ:
How do these differ from synthetic brushes? Synthetic brushes lay down a smooth, brushstroke-free coat, ideal for flat coverage and blending. Hog bristle is stiffer, carries the paint, and leaves visible brush marks. They serve different purposes, not different quality levels.
Do the bristles split? Yes, and this is intentional: the natural split tips hold more paint and soften the stroke. This is not a defect.
Is this set suitable for beginners? Yes, it covers all useful sizes with ten brushes, avoiding the need to buy more soon.
