Round - 4000R 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.

The shorter, more evenly-shaped hairs of bright brushes can easily control heavy and thick applications of paint. A bright brush's shape, a flat-end with a rounder-midsection, allows it to create either strong or sharp lines depending on the technique. Commonly used in landscape painting or when painting atop paint.

United StatesThis brush just FEELS good! Bristles are beautifully shaped, well chiseled, and apply paint just the way I was hoping. Makes oil painting fun again, after puppies ate my good brushes and I was forced to use the sad old brushes from the "rear jar." :-)
United StatesNot the most expensive or the cheapest brush around Excellent quality and performance for the price. Holds massive amount of paint and cleans up nicely. Built to last.
United StatesI paint great with it ! Thanks !!!
United Statesgreat - these opal brushes have become my favorite - very versatile, maintain shape and can be used for a wide range of marks. very durable as well.
United StatesHave used them in the past and really liked them, so I ordered more.
United StatesA beautiful shaped and crafted panel invited me to get busy, thinking and creating in new ways! The surface had just enough texture to grab my acrylics. And the end result was a beautiful double pet portrait for a good friend! One added bonus for the recipient--no framing, ready to hang! Thanks, Trekell, for making it classy, inspirational and easy!
