Description
The Set 125 consists of the 7 most popular shapes in the 'Ivory' range, on long handles in this set.The Ivory are our most popular synthetic range for Oils. They come in lots of shapes and sizes, and are available on the shorter and longer handles. They are 100% synthetic and vegan-friendly.
The Ivory fibres have been sandblasted with shards of glass, which make them firm, and wear down well. They clean really easily, and last a lot longer than your average synthetics would. The Ivories will be a good work horse for you, and many of the leading artists all over the world consider these their go-to brushes. Plein Air painters love them too for how quickly they clean up!
The Ivory Pointed Rounds will keep a nice sharp point making them ideal for drawing, detail work and also signatures.
We recommend you try the long and short flats alongside each other to see which you prefer. In this set you’ve got a small sample of the shapes we offer in this range, experiment with them!
The filberts are great for a softer stroke. Often used for blending, or knocking back your edge work. I like them because they are versatile. You can use them for a sharp edge, but also when used for a full stroke the rounded edges make them a good softener.
We often get asked what the best way to clean your brushes is. Truthfully, there are so many different ways and it really does depend on which medium you’re using, how often you use your brushes, whether you are in a rush or whether you have time to clean them thoroughly.
The main thing to remember is that cleaning your brushes is an important investment both of your time and your money. The more you look after your tools, the better they will serve you.
