Reviews

The Interlocking Hog Bristle series is one of our finest brush lines, and quite possibly the finest hog bristle you'll find anywhere. The very best craftsmanship goes into each brush, from the top-quality, hand selected white bristle to the accent of gold on the tip of the long, matte-black handles.

The term "interlocking" refers to the abundance of natural flags, or splits, on the tips of the bristles — deep flags that lock together and produce a smooth stroke even with thick or heavy paints.

Masterstroke White Bristle Fan — Our white bristle fan brush, Series 2012, is very resilient. Use it for blending paint, and for creating soft textures for hair and backgrounds in portraiture, or for trees and clouds in landscapes.

Set of 6 — Save on a set of six brushes of a single shape. Sizes included are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.

Bright and Flat — A Bright is a short flat brush that absorbs less color and has a stiffer stroke. A Flat is longer than a Bright and is consequently more flexible at the tip.

Brush sizes — The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size may vary by manufacturer as brush sizes are not standardized. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from within a single brush line.

Disappointed

By Rick

Comments about Blick Masterstroke Pure Interlocking Bristle Flat Series 9008:

Bought a filbert at a Blick store. Used lightly for less than a few hours and the bristles are completely splayed and difficult to use.

Comments about Blick Masterstroke Interlocking Bristle Round:

Firm, springy bristles. The only negative is that the point on the small rounds isn't as fine as I'd like, but that is to be expected from bristle.

Don't think I would buy these again

By Rusty

Comments about Blick Masterstroke Pure Interlocking Bristle Bright Series 9009:

Not having painted with acrylics in over 30 years, I was practically starting over. I needed brushes, this looked like a good deal. I have a genetic nerve disorder called Essential Tremor (the reason I haven't painted, only have been using pencils, dry media). After the 1st use, it was hard to get a clean line because the bristles were fussed up. I had washed & cleaned them with soft soap and shaped them to dry. Then yuck.

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

I have not painted much as yet with my Blick filbert bristle brushes but so far I really like them.
