Alex is an oil painter, so this set was curated with oil painting in mind and designed to support her signature wet-into-wet process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach brush features a 6\" pink short handle with a gold ferrule and gold print, paired with a matching gold 1 oz Trekell Linseed Oil Soap and an exclusive Alex sticker. The brushes themselves are versatile and can be used with any painting media, while the linseed oil soap is formulated specifically for cleaning oil-based paints such as traditional oils, enamels, and water-mixable oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlex relies on just three brushes to take a painting from first mark to final, buttery blur: a detail-loving round, a versatile cat’s tongue, and an ultra-soft mop. Whether you are channeling her signature style in oils or adapting her toolkit for acrylic, gouache, or watercolor, this set gives you a compact, high-impact setup designed for precision, flow, and soft-focus blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize #5\/0 round Golden Taklon brush, 6\" short handle, pink with gold ferrule and gold imprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize #10 cat’s tongue Golden Taklon brush, 6\" short handle, pink with gold ferrule and gold imprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\" mop brush, 6\" short handle, pink with gold ferrule and gold imprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrekell Linseed Oil Soap, 1 oz gold container, formulated for oil-based paints (oil, enamel, and water-mixable oils).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlex Garant sticker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Alex Uses Each Brush\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize #5\/0 Round\u003c\/strong\u003e – Alex uses this small round for the entire face, building structure and illusion with sharp details and precise line work. It is her go-to for features, edges, and filling in tiny areas where control matters most.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize #10 Cat’s Tongue\u003c\/strong\u003e – After the face is in place, she moves to the cat’s tongue to paint necks, hair, and the backdrop in one continuous, alla prima session. With light pressure it behaves like a point, and with more pressure it opens up like a flat, so she can switch from crisp forms to broader, painterly shapes without changing brushes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\" Mop\u003c\/strong\u003e – To finish, Alex gently passes the mop brush over the still-wet painting to soften any overly sharp areas and melt colors together into a buttery, blurry effect. The trick is to use almost no pressure and let the ultra-soft bristles do the blending for you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBring Alex’s Toolkit To Your Easel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis limited edition oil-focused brush set is perfect for artists who love alla prima painting, illusion portraits, and intentional, minimal tools that do the most.
