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.

The "Foliater" brush was designed for Pro Arte by the well-known watercolour artist Stephen Coates. It features a semi-circular ferrule, which produces a unique bristle profile. The brush-head is also trimmed diagonally, so that the brush produces an irregular, dappled effect when loaded with paint and stippled lightly across the surface of watercolour paper. This makes it easy to mimic the natural fall of light on the foliage of distant trees and bushes. The brush head contains a mixture of hog bristle and racoon hair. The hog bristle allows the brush to be stiff enough to stipple and 'punch' the paper and the soft racoon hair has a great water-holding capacity, making it ideal for watercolour painting.  The Pro Arte Stephen Coates "Foliater" is available in three sizes - Small, Medium and Large - and as a set of three. This is a Large. Ferrule Width: 11mm Brush Hair Length: 21mm youtube=qxNc6uSqxK8
