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. Ideal for fine detail lines and washes, this short handled round brush offers extra control.

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.
