Premium Fresco Painting Brushes – Addon Set

Description

Premium Fresco Painting Brushes – Add-on Set of large fresco brushes – size #4 and #5. Perfect traditional fresco painting bristle brushes.

These authentic fresco brushes are made with fine natural hog bristle, long wooden handles with string tied ferrules – the only suitable materials capable to withstand alkaline action of the lime intonaco. Dedicated craftsmen, following the centuries old tradition and technique, are handcrafting these traditional fresco brushes for the Fresco School.

Handpicked bristles hold an excellent point, soft and gentle on plaster.

Add-on Set of 2

#4 – for detailing and lines
#5 – for building up of values and color

Unlike with oil and/or acrylic mediums, with which brushes have a relatively short life (even with care after a few month brushes become unusable); Fresco brushes last for years!

“The medium of Fresco is all natural and pure – no solvents, no glue in the medium, just pure water – brushes last for years. I still use brushes that are 12 and more years old!” – iLia Anossov (fresco)
