Paintersisters Fan brush bristle

Dark wild boar bristle. The brushes made from wild boar bristles feature dark bristles that exhibit higher tension and are somewhat coarser. Both brushes have a matte black lacquered handle with a length of 15 to 16.5 cm. The ferrule width ranges from 0.4 to 1.2 cm. Available sizes are 2, 6, 10, and 14. These brushes are excellent for creating very natural representations of many motifs from nature. Organic surfaces of plants, leaves, trees, bushes, animal fur, as well as hair and fur textures can be rendered very accurately thanks to their structure, regardless of the color medium used. Fan brushes are also frequently used in abstract painting, gilding, and cosmetics. They are particularly ideal for pasty oil and acrylic paints, as the split fibers ensure an even application of color. However, bristle brushes are not suitable for watery colors, as they cannot hold water.

Quality: Pig bristles do not taper to a point but have what is known as a flag. Each hair tip is split into several fine fibers, which guarantees an even distribution of the color application. The ferrule is made of seamlessly processed aluminum to avoid rust spots, ensuring it remains beautifully silver over time.

Handling: The brushes can be easily cleaned with water or brush cleaners. With prolonged use of the bristle tips, the fiber splitting continues downward, preserving the excellent working properties even with wear-related shortening of the bristles. Additionally, the brushes feature a seamless silver ferrule. The brush body is glued both internally and with the ferrule to ensure that the hairs are securely held in place and do not come loose easily.
