Filbert Brush, Size 8, Princeton Catalyst Polytip Series 6400 Long Handle for Acrylic & Oil

Princeton Artist Brush Co. is one of the largest brush-makers in North America, with a sole focus on artist brushes since their inception in 1992. Unlike other companies offering a range of art supplies, Princeton dedicates its efforts to crafting the best quality, most fairly priced artist brushes available today.

The Catalyst Polytip Series represents another breakthrough from Princeton, advancing the science of synthetic hair. For the first time, the tip of each individual hair has been split to replicate the natural flags found on the finest natural bristle. This innovation allows Catalyst brushes to hold a higher volume of paint while providing a smoother application.

Designed for use with medium to heavy-bodied acrylic and oil paints, Catalyst Polytip Bristle brushes truly are tools that move paint. Unlike natural bristles that can become useless when water-soaked, Catalyst brushes maintain their integrity in water-based mediums, offering the stiffness and responsiveness artists require.

The synthetic Polytip bristles perform better, last longer, and don't lose their shape or stiffness, even in water-based mediums. Compared to natural bristle brushes, Catalyst brushes are more durable, affordable, and dependable, making them a must-have for professionals and beginners alike.

Our Polytip brushes provide the best color holding capacity and shape retention, capable of even pushing heavy gel media. The Angle Bright, Bright, Egbert, and Fan brushes offer a range of specialized capabilities:

The Angle Bright provides crisp edges and detailed work in hard-to-reach areas. The Bright excels at covering large surfaces, murals, and washes. The Egbert is designed for special effects using heavier paints, creating texture, layering color, and softening edges. The Fan brush is ideal for creating texture, smoothing other strokes, and softening edges.

The Filbert brush, shaped like an oval at the tip and tapered to a chisel edge, is useful for basecoating round or curved areas, applying washes, and painting flowers. The Round, Short Filbert, and Flat brushes offer further versatility, with the Round delivering thick to thin strokes, the Short Filbert blending and creating strokes with soft edges, and the Flat providing large, broad sweeping strokes for base coating, washes, and applying color to large areas.

Whether you're a professional or a beginner, Catalyst Polytip Bristle brushes from Princeton Artist Brush Co. are designed to inspire your creativity and provide the performance you need to bring your artistic vision to life.
