High End Bristle Brushes Handmade by skilled artisans in Germany - Designed for all artists painting large scale

There are four shapes to the Premium Gigante Brush line:

ANGULAR MOTTLERS
Sometimes artists look at this brush as if it is a specialty brush but it is not. It is used by some of the most famous artists of our time and a real tool for professional house and industrial painting. As you glance at the brush you will see one end has a hair length of 1.57" it then angles to 2" on the 2" wide brush and to 2.17" on the 3" wide brush. The shape allows artists and painters to curve their strokes. This is especially useful for cutting in basic shapes and to run the brush along a circular area. These brushes hold a lot of color and the tip of the brush is most useful for reaching smaller areas without having to switch brushes. You can cover a lot of area with this brush like all flat brushes. 2" brush is 13" long and the 3" is 13.6" long. The handle is made of varnished beech wood and the ferrule is nickel plated with a rust proof tin coating.

OVAL MOTTLERS
You'll immediately appreciate the natural flagged ends of these brushes that provide an excellent control of your paint. The oval shape is like an artists' filbert brush. Its intention is to allow for clean controlled strokes without flaring of the hair through the stroke. You can use this brush for cutting in backgrounds, general painting, varnishing and large scale glazing.

FLAT MOTTLERS
This brush is a workhorse of epic proportions and is one of the most beloved of all brushes used by artists that work large in scale. It has superior quality bristle hair with natural flagged ends to grip and release color with superb precision. It can be used flat or on its sides for various needs. The endless uses of this brush can't all be listed however it is ideal for almost all stages of a painting from priming to painting to varnishing. Use it with all your favorite media. Available in 2" wide with 2" long hair and a 12.7" length or 3" wide with 2" hair length and a 13.4" length. The handle is made of varnished beech wood and the ferrule is nickel plated with a rust proof tin coating.

DOMED SASH ROUND BRUSHES
The bushy round shape of the brush make it perfect for loading and creating long continuous soft edged linear strokes. The natural flagged ends and fullness of the hair allows it to cover large areas with ease. The brush works in unison with the other three shapes in this series and is a vital tool for a myriad of uses. This brush style has a history dating back to birth of artist brushes and has been the go to brush ever since. These brushes feature a long length which is instrumental to working large.
