24th January 2021 Update: We are still open despite the England Lockdown measures. Please be patient as we are working as quickly & safely as we can during this time.
A long awaited range designed for the traditional oil painter who likes the feel of a bristle brush and the brush mark achieved but doesn't like the durability and the way bristle can sometimes 'splay'. This blend of bristle and strong synthetic is 'interlocked' allowing the brush to retain it's original shape for much longer.You won't be disappointed.
I would like to thank all the artists who helped me with the trials on this range and in particular; Andrea Smith, Proprietor of http://ateliercanova.com - Rome, Italy. Email:enquiries@andreajsmith.com
Thank you Andrea for your time and patience – we got it right!

The Classic Filbert is very popular with oil painters. The oval end can be used to both make sweeping strokes but also fine lines when held vertically.

The classic pointed round can be used for landscapes, portraits and figurative work. The larger rounds are brilliant for laying on colour whilst the smaller rounds are ideal for finer detail.
