Artists Hog Long Handle Fan Brushes

Artists' Hog is Winsor and Newtons highest quality hog brush and provides a level of performance that is unrivalled. It is made from the finest materials with the highest level of craftsmanship, and achieves the degree of sensitivity demanded by discerning artists. By using the finest Chunking hog bristles, the hair is extremely resilient and the brush retains its working edge and shape for far longer.  The bristles are also ‘flagged' (i.e. split at the ends) giving the brush the ability to carry more colour and then to apply it evenly to the surface.  The natural curve of the bristle is utilised to ensure no loss of natural spring.  Artists' Hog brushes give an unrivalled performance and though traditionally an oil colour brush, works brilliantly with acrylic colour

For blending, softening edges & creating textures. Excellent for portraiture and landscapes and particularly useful for trees, skies and delicate blending.

A fan brush is a brush with a thin layer of bristles spread out by the ferrule. A fan brush is commonly used to blend colors, but is also perfect for painting hair, grasses, or thin branches. (Though you need to be careful not to make identical or repetitive marks that look unnatural.)
