When do you choose this product?
When do you need a cat's tongue brush?
A cat's tongue brush is indispensable for artists working with oil or acrylic paint. These brushes are specially designed for applying paint to flat surfaces and creating broad, flowing strokes. You mainly use them for backgrounds, filling in large areas and blending colours directly on the canvas.
Why size 16 is the right choice
Size 16 gives you the perfect balance between control and coverage. This size is large enough to fill larger areas efficiently, yet small enough to still allow detailed work. For medium to large paintings, this size is ideal, as you don't apply too much paint per stroke but still make rapid progress.
Benefits of synthetic hair
The synthetic hair of this brush has an important feature: it is suitable for both oil and acrylic paint. Unlike natural hair, synthetic hair retains its shape better when used with acrylic paint and is easier to clean. The gold-coloured synthetic hair is fine enough for smooth paint application yet firm enough for good paint pick-up.
Practical maintenance tip
Thanks to the nickel-plated brass ferrule and varnished handle, this brush is built to withstand intensive use. Clean the brush straight after use with the appropriate solvents: turpentine for oil paint and soap and water for acrylic paint. The seamless ferrule prevents paint residue from being left behind, which considerably extends the life of your brush.
