Dynasty Faux Squirrel Fan

Series 1827

Photos

Reviews

A fan brush is a brush with a thin layer of bristles spread out by the ferrule, commonly used to blend colors, but also perfect for painting hair, grasses, or thin branches. Whether your artistic specialty is in gouache or watercolor, the new Faux Squirrel Fan brush by Dynasty is a must-have for your brush collection.

Made with a blend of synthetic hairs, these brushes are much more durable than natural squirrel hair and can hold a good amount of paint for perfectly even application. The resilient brush continues to hold its shape and shows far less wear over time than natural fiber brushes.

The exclusive soft touch silver handle provides a sure grip through hours of painting, versus handles with a glossy grip.

Fan — A fan brush is a brush with a thin layer of bristles spread out by the ferrule, commonly used to blend colors, but also perfect for painting hair, grasses, or thin branches.

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.

A little problem with the handle...

Comments about Dynasty Faux Squirrel Round Series 1827:

The handle of this brush (#10 Round) is coated with a sticky substance, which becomes more sticky with exposure to water. Not a good quality in a watercolor brush. I find it very distracting to work with. I have tried washing the substance off the handle, which only made it worse. The brush tip itself is good for the price, but I would not recommend this brand, nor will I buy it again.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Dynasty Faux Squirrel Dagger Series 1827:

I had the 1/4" version of the Faux Squirrel Dagger, and I'm in a fit of PIQUE that I cannot find it.
Somewhere it's lurking in my workspace. I love this brush, and if you're into any kind of portraiture this brush enables you to enhance/detail hair highlights like no other!

Try it and maybe, if you'll fall in love with it like I did, you can thank me by sending me another one? : D

Comments about Dynasty Faux Squirrel Flat Wash Series 1827:

I'm a beginner watercolor painter & I LOVE these brushes!! I bought two brands and instantly can tell how much more I like these than the other brand!! They hold SO much water and color and have such a nice springy feeling. I'm so glad I chose these over natural hair brushes, which are a by-product of the fur industry. So I can feel good about using them plus they are simply WONDERFUL!! I highly recommend these, and they also don't shed!! A fantastic deal!! Love them!!!

Comments about Dynasty Faux Squirrel Rigger Series 1827:

Without a doubt, this brush holds the paint well, has just the right firmness, and creates just the thin line I was looking for. Bought a #2 and a #6 and I'm set to go!

Comments about Dynasty Faux Squirrel Rigger Series 1827:

This is just what I always needed. No matter how many "tiny" brushes I bought for flower stems or for my signature on the bottom of a painting, I never found anything really soft but still sharp enough to do what I wanted it to do. This is it!
