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.

Very Nice Brushes
This is my first time working with acrylic brushes and Trekell Legion Synthetic Mongoose is the first and so far the only brand I tried. I like the brushes a lot, but as I have no experience with acrylic brushes in general and have not tried any other brands, I really don't know how they compare to other synthetic mongoose brands. I also have not used them long enough to know how they will withstand long time use. I will definitely buy more once I can afford to.

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!
