Art Essentials Mightlon Brushes use a revolutionary new 100% synthetic fibre that is a little stiffer & fuller than Taklon & mimic the control & feel of interlocked bristles. The Mightlon range has been developed in Japan, by master brush makers with more than 50 years’ experience of making Artists’ quality brushes. Worldwide restrictions & animal welfare awareness have led to great innovations by master brush makers in synthetic hair technology, resulting in a synthetic fibre which outperforms natural hair in many ways, is easier to manage and is much more economical and durable than the natural counterpart. These Mightlon brushes are ideal for watercolours, acrylics & Mixed Media and a must have in every floral artist’s tool kit.

Mightlon hair brushes consist of filaments of 3 different diameters to help enhance the paint holding capacity of the brushes and allows them to deliver plenty of colour. Each filament is prepared in a chemical process to imitate the interlocked construction of natural hairs, which enable the brush to quickly return to their original shape & sharp point after each stroke. In simple words, these brushes have a great point & colour retention, precise snap & fine control. The soft hairs of the brush leave very little to no brush marks. They can be used to move both impasto & fluid acrylics.

Art Essentials Mightlon Brushes offer an artist a wide choice of traditional & modern media to work with, including watercolours, acrylics, inks, water-mixable oils, gouache, silk colours & many other media. The Pointed Triangle / Petal Shape is extremely versatile & extremely useful for painting leaves, foliage and a variety of flowers. Just as the name suggests, it is the one of, if not the best shape for creating petals in floral paintings.

The Mightlon brushes have a short beige pearl lacquered wooden handle, with a seamless ferrule. The filaments are a unique greyish green colour.
