Oil painting calls for resilient, durable and sturdy hog bristle brushes that have good colour retention and are easy to use. Georgian Oil Brushes have extra-fine quality Chungking bristles with a high percentage of natural flags for maximum colour-holding and smooth flexible strokes. They are handmade using traditional interlocked construction for durability and control. Holds more colour due to its extra bristle length and gives a longer stroke. Good for glazing.
