Trekell Crimson Taklon #8 Filbert Brush - Long Handle

Built for artists who need more control when working with heavier paint, Crimson Taklon offers a firmer synthetic option designed to handle thicker applications without sacrificing precision.

Crimson Taklon bristles feature a blend of varying filament diameters and carefully tapered tips that more closely mimic the performance of natural brush hair. Combined with a firmer feel than our Golden Taklon series, they provide excellent paint pickup, controlled application, and the strength needed to move 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.

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 point, snap, 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.
