Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Hog Paint Brush, Long Handle Size 2, Filbert

Exactly what I hoped for...stiff enough for oil paints and just the size I needed.

I honestly love winsor and newton. For their paints as well as their brushes. They really obviously care alot about quality. These brushes are nice and LONG (longer than my other set of "long handle " brushes. ) and they are also ergonomic in shape & have a very nice, balanced weight to them that both make them feel like they are very good quality & luxury, but also that makes painting more comfortable for you. The bristles are natural hair, and they are stiff, yet bouncy and hold paint beautifully. I use the brushes for heavy bod0bristles are also perfectly shaped and when I clean ed & broke them in for the 1st time, only one hair came loose. Great quality

I have used WN brushes for quite awhile, but on first use of a #5 filbert hog hair brush, the ferrule slipped off the handle (pic). Amazon was great about replacing it the next day, but the ferrule of the 2nd was loose out of the package and will likely fall off like the first one.Windsor Newton is clearly having production issues and quality checks are missing in manufacturing.

I have never been a fan of Windsor Newton. I probably purchased the cheap stuff they make. I splurged and bought this brush. It has nice bristles and came in a plastic tube for protection. It handles like a dream. Nice thin handle. I like it very much.

This is a hog bristle brush from Winsor & Newton. I am an artist and I love these stiff sturdy brushes. This is a round bristle brush that I will use for painting smaller areas. It is not a fine detail brush, which is typically a softer smaller pointed brush. But the quality of this brush is excellent. Do rinse these brushes out with odorless turpentine, and then I wash them with bar soap and water after painting. I have been using Winsor & Newton products for years because of the consistent quality of their artists' products. I recommend these brushes.

My wife is a working artist and this is her go-to brush for most of the detailed painting she does. It's beautifully made and super-refined. It's so small and fine but extremely high quality, does a great job.My only complaint is that these were unavailable for a while on Amazon so we had to scour the internet for any supplies. But they're back now and we're very happy with this little beauty.

Love this new pen. Exceeded my expectations. It opened a new world of expressions in my drawing.

The quality of the hair was excellent, but the insertion on the handle was a little unestable.I had use this product before, and I had excellents results.
