Expertly created, Elements Professional Synthetic Oil Painting brushes are a popular alternative to natural hog hair brushes for oil painting. While natural hog bristles are known for their stiffness and ability to handle thick, heavy paints, synthetic hog hair brushes offer similar performance but are made from man-made materials, providing a more ethical and often more affordable option.

These synthetic brushes are generally more durable and resilient than their natural counterparts. They are less likely to shed bristles and can withstand the rigors of heavy paint, solvent, and cleaning. This durability makes them suitable for long-term use without significant degradation.

Since these brushes do not use animal-derived materials, they are a more ethical and cruelty-free alternative to natural hog bristles. Artists who are conscious about animal welfare may prefer synthetic options for this reason.

Round 6 & 10: A round synthetic hog hair brush is great for detail work, fine lines, and precision, ideal for painting fine lines or intricate details in oil.

Filbert 6 : The rounded, flat shape of a filbert brush is great for blending and creating soft, curved strokes, making it versatile for oil painting techniques.

Flat 12 & 18: A flat brush is ideal for bold, wide strokes and can also be used for precise edge work and controlled application of thick paint.
