Trekell Opal #2 Filbert Brush - Long Handle

Trekell Opal #2 Filbert Brush - Long Handle

Designed for artists who want the strength and performance of traditional hog bristle without using animal products, Trekell Opal brushes deliver exceptional durability, control, and responsiveness for oil and acrylic painting.

Like all Trekell premium synthetic brushes, Opal features a blend of varying filament diameters with carefully tapered tips that more closely mimic the performance of natural brush hair. Combined with our firm synthetic filament engineered to replicate natural hog bristle, these brushes provide excellent paint pickup, smooth paint flow, and the strength needed to push, shape, and manipulate heavier-bodied paints with confidence.

The Filbert shape combines the coverage of a Flat brush with the soft edges of a Round. Its gently rounded tip creates smooth blends, soft transitions, and natural-looking forms, making it a favorite for portraits, florals, and organic subjects.

Built to Last

Each brush is made with our Thermyx™ filament. During manufacturing, the bristles are heat-set to create built-in shape memory that helps the brush maintain its clean edge, spring, and performance over time.

If the bristles begin to lose their shape, dip them in simmering water for a few seconds to help restore them closer to their original form. Reshape the bristles while warm and allow them to dry in place.

For even longer-lasting performance, apply Trekell Brush Restorer while the bristles dry to help them hold their shape between painting sessions.
