Artists' Acrylic Brushes are handmade at the Winsor & Newton brush factory in Lowestoft, England. The interlocked synthetic hairs of the brush provide the ideal responsiveness and shape retention for both acrylic and oil painters, and the contoured handle provides comfort when painting. The fine quality polyester filament provides superb durability combined with excellent shape retention. Stiff enough for thick color, yet soft enough for glazing, these brushes offer versatility with the feel of natural hair.
