Ancient Bristle Paint Brushes

Bristle: Attained from European and Asian hogs. These are hand selected. They come in a variety of colors and grades from silky to coarse, and are used for numerous purposes. Will spread medium to thick paints smoothly and evenly. White bristle brushes are useful in gamehead and mammal finishing for blending exposed skin and hair with oil colors. Also good for applying pure "Brush Magic" to clean oil paints from hair.
