My favorite brush for oil painting. Taking an acrylic class next week and they call for these. I don’t do acrylic. So I’m a bit nervous. It dries so fast. Wish me luck. Fingers crossed

I use this brush with acrylic paints. It is great for loose brush strokes, dry brushing, and even some blending. Very versatile. It has become my favorite brush now!

This brush is amazing. I had no clue how much I would love it! Great for moving lots of color on canvas and cleans up like a dream. Would highly recommend.
