Perfect shape and brush response is what you’ll get, with each Jewel Bristle Brush! There are many secrets to Creative Mark’s great Jewel brushes. Each brush carries a concentration and load of pigment onto the canvas like no other, thanks to the incredible amount of natural flagged ends on each tip - creating longer, stronger, more fluid brush strokes. Special interlocking construction is created by a slow and meticulous method, with special hog bristle curing to allow a uniform hair curve. Bristles are then hand-cupped with two bundles to form an interlocked center, allowing springy, amazing brush response! Jewel Bristle Brushes are handmade by skilled craftsmen that come from generations of brush makers, adept at perfectly shaping the hair during construction. Their precision allows you to paint with the precision of every stroke having consistent, reliable results. Brushes are distinctively finished with ruby red, long balanced hardwood handles, with white pearlescent dipped ends. Ferrules are uniquely gorgeous - gold-plated and seamless - resulting in a beautiful-looking, beautifully performing brush unlike any other in the world. Every size and style will make a great gift for any level of artist!
