Trekell Opal Brushes

Trekell Opal Synthetic Hog Bristle Artist Brushes - Long Handle for Oil and Acrylic Painting

The Opal Synthetic Hog Bristle brush is built for artists who want the strength and performance of traditional hog bristle with the consistency and durability of a high quality synthetic.

These brushes are designed to replicate the firmness and resilience of natural hog bristle, making them ideal for pushing thick paint, building texture, and creating bold, confident strokes. The filaments have a smooth to slightly textured feel, allowing for controlled application while still giving you the ability to move and shape heavier paint with ease.

Each brush is made with our Thermyx™ filament. When these brushes are made, the bristles are shaped and heat set into their form, creating a built in memory that helps the brush maintain its structure and performance over time.

If the bristles begin to lose their shape, a quick dip in simmering water can help bring them back closer to their original form. For best results, reshape the bristles while warm and allow them to dry in place. Using Trekell Brush Restorer at this stage will help the bristles dry more firmly and hold their shape longer.

The 10 inch long handle provides balance and reach, giving you the control needed for both detailed work and larger, expressive applications.
