Da Vinci Pure Badger brushes contain the highest-quality silver-tipped pure badger hair, perfect for blending and softening oil paint on the canvas.

Unlike other hair, pure badger hair is thickest at the tips, giving these brushes a bushy appearance. They're excellent for glazing techniques, and popular with decorative and faux finish painters because of their blending ability.

Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Have not had time to use the brushes. However, I have no reason to believe that they will not perform as I anticipate they will. Thank you.

Comments about Da Vinci Pure Badger Filbert Series 1895 and 1898:

The badger is sort of a cross between sable and bristle. You can get a smoother surface than with bristle, but they are easier to clean. They also tend not to "flop" quite as fast as sable brushes. I also have several DaVinci sables, and they are quite good, on a par with W&N. I recommend them.

Great brushes. Unique and useful

Comments about Da Vinci Brushes Da Vinci Pure Badger Filbert Series 1895 and 1898:

I got these da Vinci badger brushes to test them out. I've always been a fan of da Vinci brushes and their quality.

I found that the badger brushes are very unique in making a brush stroke where you push the brush upward. The hairs of the brush will stay in their place and won't bend when you do that technique. It's a brush stroke I learned from the Richard Schmid's DVDs.

They're also unique for glazing and blending. They're not a replacement for bristle or sable brushes. they're in a category by themselves.

After trying the brights, I ended up buying the rounds and long filberts too. I'm glad that I tried them.
