This black bristle brush has an angular shape, ideally suited to portrait painting and detail work. The natural fill in this artist's brush holds more paint than a synthetic brush, allowing paint to be applied more evenly and with longer brush strokes. This 3/4" size brush has a trim of 1-1/2" with a brush face width of 1" and an overall length of 12-1/2". This brush has a nickel-plated ferrule and a long wooden handle to allow a good working distance.
