Princeton 6300 Series Best Synthetic Bristle
The Princeton brush company imports the stiffest synthetic bristle that we have found. The unique stiff synthetic fibers used in this series of brushes most closely duplicates the quality and feel of natural bristle. These brushes have excellent stiffness, snap and shape retention to provide you with maximum control. This is a great series of brushes for acrylic and oil painters seeking the feel and brushstroke of a natural bristle in a durable and easier to clean synthetic brush. Black stained wood handle with gold plated brass ferrule.
Series 6300B BRIGHT Synthetic Bristle The shorter bright shape is for more control and moving heavier body paints.
Series 6300F FLAT Synthetic Bristle The longer flat shape produces a flowing stroke and holds more paint.
Series 6300R ROUND Synthetic Bristle The 6300 Rounds are produced only in the smaller sizes and have great snap and control for more detailed work.
Series 6300FB FILBERT Synthetic Bristle The filbert in the 6300 series is a long filbert producing a soft edged fluid stroke.
Series 6300FN FAN Synthetic Bristle The two sizes available in the fan brush are used for subtle blending when used dry or for producing unique marks with paint.
Series 6300AB ANGULAR BRIGHT Synthetic Bristle The angled bright allows a different angle of approach to the canvas, sometimes preferred for more detailed work and controlled edges.
