Jackson's : AKOYA White Synthetic Brushes : Series 363 / 364 / 365 / 366 / 367 / 368 / 369

<a id="brushseries"></a> <p>Jackson’s Akoya brushes, so named because their pure white silky hairs resemble the Akoya pearl, have been developed to match and build upon qualities offered by the leading natural hog brushes. </p> <p>Color and liquid absorbency is maximized by craters in each hair that gather pigment and replicate natural hairs in a way that other synthetic brushes are not capable of.</p> <p>In addition to this, the Akoya brushes maintain the excellent spring and shape that one would expect of a synthetic brush, reinforced by the two thicknesses of hair used. These brushes are designed to last, thanks to a heating process that causes the hairs to retain their shape after use, and the strength of the filaments themselves. This durability means that you won't have bristles breaking off in your paint. With slightly stiffer hair than our Procryl brushes, the Akoya exhibits the best characteristics of both the highest grade natural and the finest synthetic brushes.</p> <strong>Staff tip:</strong></br><p>When cleaning synthetic brushes that have been used with oil paint it is advisable to not use turpentine as it will start to break down the synthetic filaments within the brush. Instead we recommend to use an odorless / low-odor brush cleaner.<br><p>Please note that these synthetic brushes do not contain any animal products, either in the varnish, bristles, paint or glue.</p> <p><strong>Series Info:</strong><br> Series 363 - Pointed Round - Classic versatile shape that can be used for a range of mark-making<br> Series 364 - Bright - Short flat hair, ideal for short, strong brushstrokes as well as edging and dabbing techniques<br> Series 365 - Filbert - The rounded edges allow for a variety of brushmarks as well as softer edging and controlled spreading<br> Series 366 - Mottler - Wide flat brush for covering large areas, broad washes, and large-scale edging<br> Series 367 - Long Flat - Carries more paint as well as creating more flourished brushstrokes and precise edging<br> Series 368 - Liner - Fine-tipped, long hair brush for detail, outlining, and long flowing lines<br> Series 369 - Egbert - A long-haired filbert that will carry more paint and is great for flourishes and gestural mark-making<br></p>
