Frequently Asked Questions

How many brushes are in the natural hair mop set?
7 mop brushes, sizes 0 to 12.

How is this different from the Camel 73 Series mop brushes?
This set gives 7 sizes from 0 to 12 with natural hair. The Camel packs give 3 sizes (0, 4, 8) or 5 sizes (0, 2, 4, 8, 12).

Which paints can I use with these brushes?
They are made for watercolour and gouache. Rinse promptly after any acrylic so it does not harden in the hair.

Should I pick a mop or a round brush?
A mop has a full, soft head that holds a lot of water for washes. A round brush has a firmer point for detail. Many painters use a mop for skies and a round for the rest.
