An affordable option for beginners, Winsor and Newton’s University line features synthetic multi-purpose brushes that are stiff enough to use with more fluid oils yet soft enough to use with water colours. This long-handled fan brush is ideal for blending, softening edges and creating textures.

Care: Paintbrush care is essential to maintaining their condition and extending their life span. Always clean brushes before the paint dries. Using a hydrating paintbrush cleaner after using Taltine or soap prevents bristles from drying and helps maintain their suppleness.

Watercolour: Clean with warm water.

Oil: Dip the paintbrush in a solvent such as Taltine. Clean with warm soapy water and a clear water rinse.

Acrylic: Clean with warm soapy water and a clear water rinse.
