You receive one selected set. The tool count includes the palette knife and waterbrush where present; a 10-piece set does not contain ten ordinary brushes. Paint and painting surfaces are sold separately.
Which set suits your work?
Choose the acrylic set for acrylic painting and the oil set for oils. The mixed-media sets suit acrylic, watercolour and gouache when combining brushwork, washes and dabbing. The waterbrush is for water and water-thinnable techniques; do not fill it with oil paint or solvent.
Shapes and techniques
Use round brushes for lines and accents, flat shapes for areas and edges, and a filbert for rounded strokes. A fan gives light swept texture; dab the sponge tools from the 25-piece set or use them through a stencil. Mix paint with the palette knife. Try pressure, water and paint load on a scrap of your surface first.
Cleaning and storage
Clean promptly according to the paint used. Use water and mild soap for water-soluble residue; follow the appropriate brush-cleaner instructions for oils. Do not leave brushes standing on their tips. Reshape the heads and let everything dry fully before storage. Rinse the waterbrush with clean water.
