Dakota

Dakota is a synthetic bristle brush that performs as well as natural bristle across a broad range of media. A key advantage of this series is that it won’t go limp even in water! Modeled on the look and feel of hog bristle, Dakota brushes are perfect for painters switching from oils to acrylic or water miscible oil. A real workhorse in even heavy bodied acrylics and suitable for use with gel and impasto media too.

Catalyst Polytip

The tip of each individual hair has been split to replicate the natural flags on the finest natural bristle. By giving each individual hair 2 to 3 distinct tips, Catalyst™ is able to hold a higher volume of paint while providing a smoother application. Designed for use with medium to heavy-bodied acrylics and oil paints, Catalyst™ pushes even heavy gel mediums with assurance. Catalyst™ Polytip Bristle brushes truly are tools that move paint.
