The details
Seven Japanese nylon brushes with a glide our founder rates above anything else in the range.
- Set of 7, a brush for every application
- Japanese nylon filament for a smooth, even release
- Built for professionals, forgiving enough for beginners
- Sleek design that gifts well or adds to an existing collection
Seven shapes means you can take a piece from blocking in through to the final marks without swapping sets, and nylon keeps its edge in acrylic where softer natural hair goes limp.
“The way the paint glides across the surface is simply outstanding. The application from the Japanese nylon is of a very professional standard, and they look so stylish too.”, James, founder
Why it’s made this way
Everything we sell is chosen by a family of working artists in Arundel, West Sussex, picked because we’d use it ourselves, fairly priced, and backed by our 60-day free returns. If it doesn’t make painting easier, it doesn’t make the range.

Brushes this good deserve
to last decades
Rinse the same day
Pigment left overnight stiffens the belly of a brush, lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap keeps sable soft for years.
Reshape while damp
Draw the head to a point between finger and thumb and let it dry flat, never bristles-down in a jar.
Store dry, roll for travel
A canvas roll keeps ferrules dry and tips protected, it’s why we gift one with our kits.
Never let paint reach the ferrule
Load the belly, not the base. Dried paint under the metal splays the head permanently, the most common way a good brush dies.
Mix with an old brush
Keep one retired round for stirring and palette work; your fine tips stay fine for the marks that matter.

Getting started
Give new brushes a gentle rinse before first use to settle the bristles, then blot dry
on a cloth. Load paint on the belly of the brush rather than pushing it into the ferrule
(the metal collar), that's what keeps a point sharp for years.
While you work
Don't leave brushes standing in water; it splays the bristles and loosens the ferrule.
Rest them flat instead, and rinse between colours.
Cleaning & storing
Rinse until the water runs clear, reshape the head with your fingers, and dry flat or
hanging down. Once fully dry, store them upright or rolled in a brush bag so nothing
presses on the tips.

Customer Reviews
Great set of brushes at a great price
This is in an attractive elegant set of brushes. For a synthetic brush they hold paint and water well. The range of brush head types is good for a small set.
