The Daler-Rowney Georgian Oil Painting Brushes - Set 401 is a versatile collection crafted for both professional artists and students seeking reliable tools for oil media. Featuring a blend of high-quality sable hair and durable hog bristles, this four-piece set offers an excellent balance between precision detailing and expressive, bold brushwork. While these brushes are designed for exceptional longevity, users should note that the natural hair fibers require consistent cleaning and careful storage to maintain their shape and integrity over time.

While designed primarily for oil painting, they can be used with acrylics. However, clean them immediately, as dried acrylic paint can quickly ruin the natural hair fibers.
This set contains natural animal hair (sable and hog). They are not vegan-certified.
The ferrules are designed to be rust-resistant, but ensure they are wiped dry after cleaning to prevent long-term corrosion.
New hog brushes may feel slightly stiff. Light use and proper cleaning will soften them naturally over time.
Use mild, artist-grade solvents. Harsh chemicals may degrade the natural hair and the finish on the wooden handles.
Clean thoroughly with brush soap, reshape while damp, and let dry completely. A brush guard or simple paper sleeve can help keep shape during storage.
Use a palette knife to gently work the soap into the base of the bristles, rinse, and repeat until the water runs completely clear.
To ensure the longevity of your Daler-Rowney brushes, proper care is essential. Always clean your brushes immediately after use; for oil paints, use an odorless solvent followed by a gentle brush soap to remove residual oils from the ferrule. Never leave your brushes soaking in water or solvent for extended periods, as this can damage the wooden handles and loosen the adhesive in the ferrule. When drying, reshape the bristles with your fingers and store them flat or hanging vertically with the bristles pointing down to prevent the hair from splaying.
