For Antonio Lopez, realism replaces beauty. There is no doubt the realism Antonio achieves is because of his ability, his clinical eye, and his wisdom as a painter. However reliability on the brushes he uses also contributes to his spectacular work, specifically the RUSTICO series made of Mongoose hair and combining different sizes. Includes Rustico Round Pointed Brushes sizes 1, 8 and 14.

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.

The Da Vinici Cosmotop-Spin is a light brown, extra smooth fibred brush. These fibres are held in place by a seamless silver coloured ferrule with a short red lacquered hexagonal handle.

This unique Da Vinci brush is popular for its water-holding capacity and excellent value in large sizes. It is a blend of 5 different diameters of extra smooth synthetic hair. Da Vinci has built specialized machines that can sort synthetic hair in varying diameters. This sorted hair is then turned over to a master brushmaker who hand shapes the CosmoTop Spin. The thicker hair is placed on the outside and the thinner hair in the middle to ensure high color-absorption while maintaining a fine point, stable shape, and energetic spring.

Ergonomic lacquered hexagonal handles allow for maximum painting control and seamless, nickel-plated brass ferrules are rust-resistant. The result is a revolutionary, durable, synthetic brush for artists.
