Product Information

Full details

The Daler Rowney Gold Taklon Synthetic Brush set is designed for professional and student artists who require precision and durability when working with acrylics or heavy-bodied paints. These short-handled brushes offer excellent control for detailed maneuvers, though their firm nature may feel less intuitive for those accustomed to the fluid flow of natural hair watercolor brushes.

FAQs

Can I use these brushes for oil painting?

Yes, Taklon synthetic brushes are excellent for oil painting as they are resistant to solvent damage and maintain their shape when working with oils.

Are these brushes suitable for watercolor?

While they can be used for watercolor, they are significantly firmer than traditional natural hair watercolor brushes and may leave more visible brush strokes.

How do I know which brush to use for details?

The Round 2 and Liner 1 are specifically designed for fine lines, small details, and intricate work.

Can I use these for face painting?

Yes, their precise control and synthetic construction make them a popular choice for detailed face and body art.

Do the bristles shed easily?

Daler Rowney Gold Taklon brushes are designed with secure ferrules to minimize shedding, provided the brushes are cleaned and stored correctly.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are splaying or bending

Wash the brush with mild soap and warm water, reshape the bristles with your fingers while damp, and let it air dry in a horizontal position.

Dried acrylic paint stuck at the base of the bristles

Use a dedicated brush cleaner or soak briefly in brush conditioner; avoid harsh solvents that might dissolve the adhesive in the ferrule.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains shape exceptionally well over time
  • Short handle allows for precise hand-eye coordination
  • Stiff bristles make it easy to manipulate thick paint
  • Versatile selection of shapes for varying techniques
  • Easy to clean compared to natural hair brushes

Cons

  • Not ideal for thin, fluid watercolor techniques
  • Limited to 7 brushes in this specific pack
  • Synthetic hair may lack the paint-loading capacity of high-end sable

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your brushes, always rinse them thoroughly in clean water immediately after finishing a painting session to prevent acrylic residue from drying in the ferrule. Never leave your brushes standing on their bristles in a jar of water, as this will cause the tips to bend and deform permanently. When storing, ensure they are laid flat or stored brush-tip-up in a cup. These brushes are fully compatible with all standard acrylic, gouache, and heavy-body water-based mediums.
