FAQs

Can these brushes be used with acrylics?

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.

Are these brushes animal-friendly?

This set contains natural animal hair (sable and hog). They are not vegan-certified.

Do the ferrules rust?

The ferrules are designed to be rust-resistant, but ensure they are wiped dry after cleaning to prevent long-term corrosion.

How do I break in new hog bristles?

New hog brushes may feel slightly stiff. Light use and proper cleaning will soften them naturally over time.

Should I use these with heavy-duty cleaning solvents?

Use mild, artist-grade solvents. Harsh chemicals may degrade the natural hair and the finish on the wooden handles.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are splaying or losing shape.

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.

Paint is stuck deep in the heel of the brush.

Use a palette knife to gently work the soap into the base of the bristles, rinse, and repeat until the water runs completely clear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent mix of stiffness and softness for varied oil techniques
  • Long handles offer professional control and comfort
  • Handmade construction ensures durability
  • Suitable for both fine details and broad strokes

Cons

  • Natural hair requires more maintenance than synthetic alternatives
  • Small set size may necessitate supplemental brushes for large-scale work
  • Hog bristles may shed slightly during the initial break-in period

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
