Pan Art Oil Techne Filbert Brush | No. 10 | Natural Bristle | 1 Pc - Oil Art

Block in large shapes and blend broad soft edges in oil. This Pan Art Oil Techne filbert brush No. 10 is one of the largest filberts in the series, with interlocked natural bristle that carries plenty of paint and a long wooden handle. Interlocked means the bristles are set so their natural curve turns inward, which helps the head stay in shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Oil Techne filbert No. 10 natural bristle?
Yes. Pan Art makes the Oil Techne range with interlocked natural bristle. You get one No. 10 filbert brush with a long wooden handle.

Can I use this brush for watercolour?
It is made for oil. Natural bristle is stiff and built for thick paint, so for watercolour washes choose a soft mop or round brush instead.

What is the difference between a filbert and a flat oil brush?
A filbert has a rounded tip, so strokes end softly and edges blend easily. A flat brush leaves square, crisp strokes.

Which size should I pick?
The filbert comes in Nos. 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. Nos. 1 and 2 suit details, 4 and 6 suit everyday modelling, and 8 and 10 suit large areas. No. 10 is in the large group.
