The Inart 1001R No. 8 Round Oil and Acrylic Brush (110799041) balances detail and area coverage within the range, with firm bristles ideal for moving thick paints like oil and acrylic without the brush head losing its shape with repeated use over multiple work sessions. The short varnished wooden handle ensures a comfortable grip during longer work sessions, even when filling moderate to larger areas with denser paint than watercolor usually requires. Being one of the larger sizes in the 1001R line, it is suitable for covering larger areas of color with fewer strokes than the smaller sizes in the same range would require to achieve the same result. It is ideal for those who already have the intermediate sizes in the line and want to complement their set with a brush for larger areas in oil or acrylic.
