Round - 2000 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. This brush is on a short handle.

Dagger - 2040 Series
A dagger brush's unique shape — a rising edge that terminates into a knife-like point — gives it the ability to lay down small, sharp lines. Painting hair is one of many use cases. It's also adept at creating teardrop-styled shapes such as petals effortlessly. This brush is on a short handle.

Script/Rigger - 2050 Series

Wash - 2070 Series
Washes come in a limitless array of shapes and sizes, producing a infinite number of impressive effects. However, the brushes' uses are largely the same.

Grainer - 2099 Series
A grainer "stretches" colors, producing soft shades. This brush has the ability to create grass, hair, fur, and similar effects depending on the pressure applied. If turned on its side, it can lay down precision edges, too. These additional powers are thanks to its thinner profile that forms a sharp point. This brush is on a short handle.

In love
These are the best brushes I’ve ever purchased. I definitely will be purchasing more .

Love taklon brushes!
I have some already and wanted more. I use them for oil painting. They hold paint well and have a good spring!


LOVE my new micros!
Super loving the tight smooth lines from these micro 20/0 synthetic rounds … honestly best fine detailer I’ve used!

Brushes
I love these brushes!

Loving these brushes
I just purchased my first Trekell Golden Talon short handle brushes and I’m really happy. I was a little skeptical at first that brushes at this reasonable price would perform well (or be well made, for that matter), but these have so far proved to be pretty stellar brushes. This weekend I painted a few small gouache studies. In the week ahead, I’ll try them on acrylics. I believe I’m a Trekell convert.
