Series 2011 Large Spalter Hog Bristle

Introducing our new 'Spalter' range or to use an old name ' Mottler' - Series 2100 has been created using the best quality hog bristle which gives the softness required for creating subtle strié effects ( strié is the French word used to describe dragging a dry brush through wet paint thereby giving a broken line effect ). Also for faux finishing, softening glazes and stains as well as a great tool with shellac. Designed specifically to tackle a large canvas. Fresco and theatre scenery painters particularly depend on these wider brushes for large areas that need covering fast. Suitable for all media but more popular with oils and acrylics. We have taken the best quality hog bristle and inserted into stainless steel ferrules which are glued and pinned on to matt black beavertail handles for perfect balance and feel in the artist's hand. If you paint BIG you will LOVE these.
