Ruby Satin is a high-quality synthetic brush with the shape and feel of interlocked bristles. These brushes have a precise snap and excellent colour control, no matter if you are using heavy body acrylics, oils or water-mixable oils. They are also excellent for acrylic painting. Each brush features a seamless, nickel-plated brass ferrule and an epoxy seal. This offers additional protection to the bristles so you can paint with confidence on canvas, wood, and even tough surfaces. The ferrules are then carefully fitted to comfortable green polished handles.

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.

Jackson's Black Hog Brushes are different - not rudimentary but sophisticated in so many ways - a class act. When you pick up a brush the first thing you notice is the balance. It sits perfectly in the hand and the fulcrum, or balance point, is a third of the way up the handle. Black Hogs work well with oil and acrylic paint. Because of their springiness and ability to leave marks but are slightly malleable, they suit both media for slightly different reasons.
