I love Trekell synthetic bristle brushes, and have ordered them at least twice. They are perfect for the kind of painting I’m doing now which requires both heavily paint loaded brushes, and brushes for fine straight lines. In fact, I’m waiting for some #4’s and 6’s that are apparently out of stock
United StatesThis brush is all you could ask for in a bristle brush, natural or synthetic.
United StatesThe Opal Flats I purchased are holding up great and I love the springy snap. However, the Opal Filbert I also purchased has not made it thru its first painting. The outer bristles are curling up. It's not holding is shape during normal use with oil paint, Gamsol and Trekell Lindseed Oil Soap. Won't get an Opal Filbert again.
United Statesexcellent for drawing and coverage - this brush keeps it form under all conditions
United StatesThese are great brushes.
United StatesLove how these Synthetic Hog Bristle brushes perform - great snap and control, able to handle a full paint load. BUT I especially LOVE the Trekell Oil cleaner and brush restorer - have made a huge difference in the condition and longevity of my brushes.
