This brush is a mix of sable and goat hair - Sable hair has been added to the goat hair as it adds strength and spring, it also retains a really nice point and returns to its original shape quickly. Goat hair is flexible, durable, absorbent and really soft, allowing you to create long sweeping gestural marks.The handle of this brush is lightweight and perfect for the fluid brush strokes required for sumi painting and calligraphy. This brush has a useful loop on the end to help facilitate drying.Length of handle: 17.5cmWidth of handle: 0.8cmLength of bristles (tapering to a point): 2cmAlso available in a larger size

Brand new, fine, white synthetic filaments are packed tightly into a 7mm deep ferrule. This creates a very soft but springy brush head, which allows for great control, a soft touch, smooth accurate wide strokes, all with an increased colour holding capacity. This brush is excellent for producing varied effects and a wide number of techniques. Often used for faux finishing techniques, murals, washes, varnishing or priming. A fantastic alternative to the soft DaVinci for painting and varnishing.

Akoya brushes, so named because their pure white silky hairs resemble the Akoya pearl, have been developed to match and build upon qualities offered by the leading natural hog brushes. Colour and liquid absorbency is maximised by craters in each hair that gather pigment and replicate natural hairs in a way that other synthetic brushes are not capable of. In addition to this, the Akoya brushes maintain the excellent spring and shape that one would expect of a synthetic brush, reinforced by the two thicknesses of hair used. These brushes are designed to last, thanks to a heating process that causes the hairs to retain their shape after use, and the strength of the filaments themselves. This durability means that you won't have bristles breaking off in your paint. With slightly stiffer hair than our Procryl brushes, the Akoya exhibits the best characteristics of both the highest grade natural and the finest synthetic brushes. Please note that this synthetic brush does not contain any animal products, either in the varnish, bristles, paint or glue. For more information and reviews on Jackson's Ayoka Brushes, click here.

Hog brushes are one of the most widely-used brushes for oil painting. While lower cost bristle brushes are boiled to straighten hairs and then bleached to uniform the colour, Shiro brushes do not undergo boiling and have only minimal bleaching in order to prolong the lifespan of the brush and maintain the strength of the hair. This also means that they retain natural curve and cuticle, which is essential for achieving the very best shape and spring. As with all natural materials, care must be taken to ensure brush life is optimised, so please remember to always wash brushes in lukewarm water and to store with the brush head away from other surfaces in an airy and shaded environment.

This brush has been principally designed for acrylic painters but also used by oil painters; with silky white filaments and silver laquered handle.

Start with watercolour.
Daler-Rowney Simply Watercolour Brushes are made from natural hair in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit almost any need.

Natural hair.
Simply Watercolour Brushes are available in 7 sets of short handle brushes made out of a variety of hair from synthetic to natural pony or sable. 

This new series is super stiff yet still extremely responsive. Unlike natural hog bristle, Catalyst has real integrity in water. Natural bristle can be rendered useless when it is water-soaked.

The true advance in Catalyst is the Polytip feature. For the first time, the tip of each individual hair has been split to replicate the natural flags on the finest natural bristle. By giving each individual hair 2 to 3 distinct tips, Catalyst is able to hold a higher volume of paint while providing a smoother application.

Designed for use with medium to heavy-bodied acrylics and oil paints, Catalyst pushes even heavy gel mediums with assurance.

Prolene brushes use refined synthetic fibres specially developed by Pro Arte. A popular and versatile brush. Used mainly for watercolour, they are exceedingly hardwearing and unlike sable, will not damage easily. Finished with seamless nickel ferrules, and black polished handles with gold tips.

This is a wonderful way to buy brushes. You make a substantial saving on the individual brush prices and can choose a set which suits your particular media or purpose. Each set comes in a handy plastic wallet which protects and keeps them all together. Note that contents may vary occasionally due to stock availability.

The ProArte Prolene Plus range is the flagship of the Prolene collection. It represents a pinnacle of achievement with a wide variety of Prolene synthetic filaments with gold ferrules and teak handles. They have a delightful spring, and hold colour well.
