Legion - Synthetic Mongoose
DESCRIPTION
Trekell’s Legion line is the rare synthetic brush that feels natural. However, there’s a key difference: While the Legion performs like a natural mongoose brush, exhibiting a deft control over oils & acrylics, it’s imbued with the durability of stronger synthetics. That makes it a winner from a sustainability standpoint, a guilt-free alternative that saves you money. And with 10" black and silver handles and a pleasing medium stiffness, the Legion is a joy to use over its long lifespan.
Round - 9100R Series
When people think of a fine art brush, they picture a round. The iconic, rounded shape is versatile, allowing artists to lay down washes, fills, and lines of all sizes. Rounds on the larger side can efficiently transform wide surface areas with fewer strokes. Those with finer points excel at delicate lines and intricate details.

Long Flat - 9100FL Series
The long flat, like the name suggests, is a longer flat brush with a subtly convex tip resembling a chisel. Known for holding its shape, a long flat is ideal if precision and control is needed when working with heavier paints. It has a superior snap, meaning it springs back to its original shape.

Fan - 9100 Series
The spread out bristles give the fan brush its titular shape. It’s primarily known for creating multiple lines or dots that are uniform. It’s also commonly used to blend and shade backgrounds. That said, a fan brush can replicate a wide array of textures and special effects just by varying the technique.

Customer Reviews
artist
Several years ago I happened on the Trekell website. At the time I was using mongoose oil brushes as my preference for paint application. While I liked the brushes very much they had a very disturbing characteristic of losing hairs throughout the painting process, and had a short life. I saw the Legion artificial mongoose brush and decided to try it. Well.....this was the beginning of love for this brush! It does exactly what it want it to for my style of painting, holds it's shape, lasts indefinitely, and does not lose bristles when cared for properly. It is not for an artist who scrubs paint on the surface, but is amazing for precise application of thin and thick layers of paint, and glazing, when using a "silent" brush. I am SO HAPPY I found these brushes!
Professional Artist
These are the best brushes I have ever used! They load nicely and lay the paint on linen, especially oil primed, better than any brush I have ever used. I especially like the long filbert because it handles so well.
Great brushes
Not only are these brushes beautiful, when using them you can tell they are high quality! Springy and flexible, the filbert is great for blending.
beautiful brushes!
I hadn't tried synthetic mongoose before. But I'm glad I found these brushes. Not only are these brushes beautiful, when using them you can tell they are high quality! The various sizes of these flat brushes allow for controlled lines and details as well as great blending.
Artist
I was very impressed by the Trekell Golden Taklon UNTIL I tried the Legion series. These hold their shape and bounce so so well. The long bristles hold a lot of paint for lines, fill in work, or dry brushing. I'm buyint the series.
Golden Taklon Round 2500 Series
Love this brush especially for a loan liner for outside of painting. And for outlining cartoons are common drawings. I like the superfine ones for different details when I'm paining model trains and different objects.
