- Set of 11 long-handle brushes, Fan: size 6; Flat: size 2; Round: sizes 3, 7, 9, 11; Filbert: sizes 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
- 100% pure hog bristle, secured with high-grade copper crimped ferrules, no shedding onto your canvas
- Polished birchwood long handles: comfortable, balanced and light
- Best suited to oils and acrylic paint
Hog bristle is stiff enough to move thick paint and hold the mark it makes, which soft brushes simply cannot do in oil or heavy-bodied acrylic, it is how you get visible, textured brushwork instead of a flat smear. The long handles let you work at arm’s length and judge the whole canvas as you paint, rather than nose-close to one corner.
Eleven shapes and sizes covers every stage of a piece, from blocking in to the final flourish. Featured in The Times and Daily Mail.
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.
