We consider these the finest hog bristle brushes available anywhere. The natural flags of the bristles interlock for resilience and lasting brush shape. Its unique shape allows a great variety of linework and mark making. This is an excellent, inexpensive choice for the oil or acrylic painter who likes the feel of a soft hair brush. It's made for us in England from a blend of synthetic fibers and high quality ox hair, set in non-rusting ferrules and traditional long handles.
Sizes run smaller than standard bristle brushes.
Our ox hair brushes offer painters great versatility in brush stroke-from precision details to impasto work. They're made with the finest light ox hair, which comes from the ears of certain species of cattle. Ox hair is more rigid and springier than red sable, but not as stiff as natural bristle. They come with nickel ferrules and attractive red and black lacquered handles. This durable synthetic bristle brush is especially suited for use with acrylic paints.
