Product Information
Full details
The Daler-Rowney Graduate Bristle Round Brush size 10 is an essential tool designed for students, beginners, and artists who require a reliable brush for oil and acrylic painting. Its primary benefit lies in the natural Chungking bristles, which provide superior paint-holding capacity and flow control for intricate work. While highly versatile for blending and detailing, users should note that the natural bristle structure requires specific cleaning techniques compared to synthetic alternatives to maintain its longevity.

FAQs
Can I use this brush for watercolors?
This brush is designed primarily for oil and acrylics. The stiff Chungking bristles are generally too abrasive for the delicate nature of watercolors.
How do I store the brush correctly?
Store the brush either lying flat or head-up in a cup. Avoid storing it head-down, as this can permanently deform the bristles.
Is the handle waterproof?
The handle is finished for durability, but you should avoid soaking the entire brush in water or solvent for long periods to prevent wood swelling.
Does this brush shed hairs?
Some minor shedding may occur during the first few uses, which is normal for natural bristle brushes. If it continues, ensure you are not using solvents that weaken the glue in the ferrule.
What does the number 10 indicate?
The number 10 refers to the size of the brush head; it is a medium-sized brush providing a balance between coverage and detail control.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splaying or losing shape
Clean thoroughly with brush soap and reshape the head while wet, then allow it to dry completely in a flat or vertical position.
Paint is drying in the ferrule
Soak the brush head in a mild brush cleaner specifically formulated for your paint type, then gently work the paint out with a palette knife or your fingers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first painting session, it is recommended to gently work the bristles with your fingers to loosen any factory sizing or dust. This brush is fully compatible with all standard oil and acrylic mediums. To maintain the brush, clean it immediately after use. For oils, use an appropriate brush cleaner or solvent, followed by mild soap and water. For acrylics, wash immediately with soap and cool water to prevent the paint from drying within the ferrule. Always reshape the bristles while damp and store the brush lying flat or head-up in a cup to preserve the structural integrity of the tip.
