When youre working with heavy paints, the last thing you need is a brush that loses its shape and resilience. Thats why the experts at Princeton Artist Co. developed the Dakota collection. Our long-handled brushes are designed with synthetic interlocking, inward curved hair that perfectly matches the stiffness of natural hog bristle, but with the snap and shape retention that can only be found from a synthetic. This incredibly versatile brush easily powers through the heaviest paints without giving out, going limp or losing its shape, even in water. A real workhorse, our brushes can be used with a variety of mediums, including heavy-bodied acrylics, oils, water-miscible oils, gels and impasto media. Dakota brushes are durable, affordable and versatile, making them ideal for professional painters and amateurs alike.
