Winsor & Newton Galeria Brush Set;

Galeria brushes have been specifically designed for use with acrylic color. The versatility of acrylic color places heavy demands on any brush which is why we created Galeria brushes to be strong and resilient, whilst offering flexibility and sensitivity in use. The unique mix of synthetic filaments has been developed to provide artists with perfect control for thicker application of color and responsiveness, whilst maintaining excellent shape retention. The versatility of the range means it is available in both short and long-handle variants. The short-handles have a softer head, ideal for using when a thinner consistency is required for glazing or a water color style of painting. The long-handled brushes are made from stiffer filaments, allowing thicker application on tougher surfaces. Galeria brushes are stiff enough to push thick color, applying the color like a spade for specific effects. The short-handled variants have excellent color carrying capacity for use with fluid color. The synthetic filaments in the flats are curved, helping the brushes retain their original shape during use and the rounds offer a good point for delicate linear application. Regardless of the volumes of water used in acrylics, the use of synthetic fibers ensures good shape retention particularly in comparison to traditional hogs. This set contains 5 brushes: Round No.8, Filbert No.8, Bright No.8, Flat No.8 and Fan No.5.
