An alternative to sables and other natural soft hairs, synthetic
brushes have come a long way in the last decade and Prolene
represents the peak in achievement. It looks like sable, springs
well, holds colour and points convincingly, is much more hard
wearing and sells at a fraction of the cost. The ultimate vegetarian
brush and our biggest seller!
We stock 101 a short handled round in sizes from 0000 up to
24, 103 a rigger (longer haired round), 106 one-strokes from
1/8” to 2”, 107 a spotter for modelmakers and miniaturists
and F a short handled fan. |

Acrylix brushes were formulated by ProArte to be the perfect
brush for using with acrylic paint. The 201 series has white
fibres and long handles and, true to form, Roy now uses them
for oil painting. Unlike hog bristle, the finer “hair”
of the acrylix brush does not leave brush marks. They are also
available with short brown fibres in the 202 and 204 series. |

Made by Da Vinci these are also intended for use with acrylic
(and once again I must confess that I enjoy using them with
oils). They are extremely hardwearing and possess good elasticity.
Available in flat, round and filbert with light coloured “hair”
and handles. The flat goes up to an amazing size 50. I particularly
liked the round because it kept its point better than a hog
but with more guts than a sable. |

I have long disliked nylon brushes since owning a particularly
dull obstinate one many years ago. Series 31 round and series
32 flat white nylon brushes have made me reconsider. They have
a good spring and hold a reasonable amount of paint. They are
very economical and a good brush for beginners.
