Degas
Degas brushes are stiff enough to push heavy-body acrylics and oil, yet supple enough for the most delicate glazes. Made from seven different professional-grade mixed synthetic filaments, these brushes are both versatile and durable.

Academy Synthetic (Oil & Acrylic)
One of the best student grade brushes on the market today, this white taklon brush brings quality and value to emerging artists. Easy to clean, and less prone to breakage than natural hair brushes, this line offers the artist many of the sought after qualities of a sable brush such as spring and snap, but is far more durable and economical. Like our professional synthetics, several sizes of nylon filaments are used in the production of these brushes.

Goldenedge (Oil & Acrylic)
Characteristics of a traditional sable hair brush are preserved in this professional synthetic variant. Made with several sizes of toray filaments, these brushes hold a large capacity of paint, lay down color in fluid strokes and have unsurpassed spring. Goldenedge® brushes are less likely to shed or lose their handles after repeated use than many other artists’ brushes on the market. Exceptionally durable, they maintain a perfect shape and extremely fine point even with repeated use.

Bristlette
An intermediate studio brush, the Bristlette holds up well to the inherently caustic qualities of solvents and acrylic paint. Made with white taklon filaments, they are slightly firm, making them ideal for acrylic work. Even with the most vigorous painting methods, these brushes maintain their ability to hold a point and crisp edge. Bristlette brushes resist wear and tear far better than the more fragile sable brushes without sacrificing many of the favored characteristics of sable, such as texture and responsiveness. Bristlette brushes are excellent for massing color, and for detail work.

Black Diamond
A unique brush for oil color, the Black Diamond series feature an unbleached, undyed, natural black hog bristle which is slightly more flexible than a traditional Chungking hog bristle. These bristles are interlocked with natural flags for sharper edges and better color lay down. They also offer a non-slip, soft black handle for better brush control and reduced hand fatigue. A black nickel-plated brass ferrule utilizes a special gluing and crimping combination that virtually eliminates bristle shedding.

Regarded as one of the best hog bristle brushes for generations, they are ideal for laying down thick paint where brush strokes are required. Their natural flags and interlocked construction preserve the natural curve of the bristle. Made with a seamless nickel-plated brass ferrule and superior quality Chungking hog bristle, these brushes are known for their quality and durability, and are considered a staple for professional oil painters.
