Winsor & Newton Winton Hog Bristle Flat

Series 5974

Photos

Reviews

Fine quality hog bristles and hand craftsmanship deliver excellent value. While specifically designed for use with oil, these quality brushes are equally suitable for acrylic.

The natural curve of these bristles provides a brush that will be sure to retain its shape during use. The corrosion resistant ferrules along with the stained and lacquered handles make these hog brushes an excellent value.

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.

I will never buy these again

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Winsor & Newton Winton Hog Bristle Brushes:

These are the worst brushes I have yet encountered. After one hour of normal non-aggressive use, they were frayed and completely lost their shape. Definitely not for someone seriously painting.

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

Bristles come out

Comments about Winsor & Newton Winton Hog Bristle Brushes:

The bristles come out in the oil paint. I'm not rough on my brushes, just normal strokes. It's annoying to have to dig these stiff hairs out of my paintings.

Excellent brushes!

Comments about Winsor & Newton Winton Hog Bristle Brushes:

I've been using these brushes for over a year now and they have retained their shape and spring. I am painting in acrylics and these brushes stand up to all the scrubbing and scumbling abuse I give it. As long as you take care of your brushes and clean them well they will last for a long time. My favorite brush is the flat #6. I've been using this one for over a year now, it's a bit worn down now but still retains it's spring and shape.

Great brushes!

Comments about Winsor & Newton Winton Hog Bristle Brushes:

Winton Bristle Brushes are easily the best economy brand hog bristle brushes on the market. I've tried many and have settled with Winton after first trying them about eight years ago. They are my staple for traditional oil painting both indoors and out. I have never had any issues with hair coming loose and the brushes keep their shape for a long, long time. An excellent value for the money.

Comments about Winsor & Newton Winton Hog Bristle Brushes:

I bought 2 sets of flat, one set of bright and one set of round. I use them for indoor oil painting. I like the brushes but had two of them literally "fall apart" after only 3 or 4 uses.
