FAQs

Can I use these for oil painting?

Yes, these brushes are resilient and durable enough to be used for oil painting, although they are optimized for acrylics.

What is included in the 4-pack?

The pack includes a size 1 round, size 4 round, 8 flat shader, and 1/4 inch angle shader.

Are these brushes suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. Their firm structure and control-oriented short handles make them an excellent choice for those learning to control brushstrokes.

How do I store these brushes?

Store them flat or upright with the bristles facing up to prevent damaging the brush tips.

Are these brushes made of animal hair?

No, these are made of Gold Taklon, a high-quality synthetic material.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are splaying and losing shape

Wash the brush with mild soap and warm water, then reshape the bristles with your fingers while wet. Lay it flat to dry overnight to help reset the fibers.

Paint is stuck near the metal ferrule

Avoid over-loading the brush too far up the bristles. Use a dedicated brush cleaner or gentle soap to work the pigment out from the base of the ferrule.

Pros and Cons

  • Short handle design offers excellent grip and maneuverability
  • Versatile range of shapes included in a single pack
  • Highly effective for heavy-bodied paints like acrylics
  • Durable enough for repeated use across different mediums

Cons

  • Not intended for artists who prefer the specific absorbency of natural hair brushes

  • Synthetic bristles may require specific cleaning techniques to prevent color staining

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Daler-Rowney Gold Taklon brushes, avoid letting paint dry in the bristles, as this can cause the synthetic fibers to stiffen and flare. Always rinse brushes thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water after use. If using acrylics, use a mild soap to gently wash the filaments until no pigment remains. Reshape the brush head while damp and store them bristles-up or laying flat to ensure they maintain their factory edge. These brushes are compatible with all standard artist-grade acrylic, oil, and watercolour paints.
