Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this filbert brush?
It is a No. 6 in the Oil Techne 2210 series.

How is a filbert different from a flat brush?
A filbert has a rounded tip, so it leaves a soft edge and blends easily. A flat brush has a square end that gives crisp edges and straight strokes.

Can beginners use it?
Yes. The filbert is often the easiest first shape because it does both blending and blocking in.

Does it work with acrylic?
Yes, although natural bristle is stiffer than a synthetic and prefers thicker acrylic.
