What this paintbrush is built for

With badger hair, this brush is stiff enough for heavy-body paints like oil and acrylic and has moderate spring for general-purpose strokes. It carries a moderate amount of water, and retains a generous load of paint for consistent, uninterrupted coverage. Paired with a long handle wood handle, it is built for full-arm strokes at the easel, suited to oil and acrylic painting.

Stiffness
4/5

Stiff and resistant to bending, built to push heavy-body paint like oil or acrylic with control.

Springiness
3/5

Moderate snap, holding its shape reasonably well without being razor-sharp.

Water Retention
2/5

Holds relatively little water, best for drier, more controlled techniques.

Paint Retention
5/5

Loads generously with paint, giving long, consistent coverage before reloading.

What makes this brush work?

Fan brush

Choose a part of the brush to learn what it does. Product-specific properties appear separately above when the relevant metafield is populated.

Bristles

The working end of the brush carries and releases paint. Its shape, material and condition influence the mark it can make.

What does stiffness tell me?
Stiffness describes resistance when the bristles meet the surface. The product-specific rating above appears only when a stiffness value is recorded.
Why does springiness matter?
Springiness describes how readily the brush returns toward its shape after pressure. It can affect control and the feel of a stroke.
Water and paint retention
Water retention describes how much water the brush can carry; paint retention describes how much paint it can pick up and hold. Use the ratings above as product-specific guidance when supplied.
