Royal & Langnickel large-area brushes, set of 3

These Royal & Langnickel large-area brushes are for broad areas of colour, backgrounds and decorative painting projects. Choose the version to suit your paint and the stroke you want. You receive one selected set, rather than all eight versions.

Three widths in one set

Each set contains three brushes with hardwood handles, in widths of 1, 2 and 3 inches, approximately 2.5, 5 and 7.6 cm. Use the narrow brush along an edge and the wider brush to cover a larger area. Paint, palette and painting surface are not included.

Choose the hair and shape

The flat watercolour sets RART-100 and Camel Hair RART-105 are intended for fluid washes. White Bristle is a firmer choice for acrylic and oil paint, with either a straight flat or angled head. Camel Hair is the name of the brush version.

Brown Taklon, Gold Taklon and White Taklon have synthetic hair. Choose Brown Taklon for general painting; Gold Taklon and White Taklon are aimed at acrylic painting. A straight flat brush makes broad bands. An angled brush helps along contours and into corners. Results also depend on the paint, pressure and surface.

Painting and cleaning

Try the brush on a scrap with the same paint and surface first. Load a little paint and make several overlapping strokes. Compare the 1-inch and 3-inch brushes before painting a background. Use the tip or narrow edge along a border, without unnecessarily splaying the hair.

Clean after use following the instructions for your paint. Do not let acrylic dry in the hair. With water-based paint, rinse thoroughly, gently reshape and lay the brushes flat to dry. Explore our brushes for different painting techniques.
