Description

A bright, Shinku, size 8, artist's paintbrush with synthetic fibres made from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Bright brushes are flat with short bristles, useful for short, controlled strokes. A stiff brush but softer than hog, the Shinku is a vegan alternative from Jackson's, suitable for use with oils and acrylics. The 'shiny', smooth, red coloured fibres glide easily through the medium and have a good spring and snap.
