Pretty Details

I love Princeton brushes and these are delightful just as I expected!

This is a very interesting synthetic bristle, and I like it a lot for oil painting. I've used natural hog hair, taklon, natural badger hair, mass produced synthetic, and more.

I compare it to something like a dense, soft natural hair brush with elastic springiness that holds up well. It's hard to find a brush that holds it's shape and does what you want. 

A natural hog bristle tends to be very rough and creates a certain brush effect that is useful in some situations. And a soft, gentle, natural hair brush is good for alla prima, but sometimes doesn't "move paint" around the way you might want if you're a bit rougher painter.

This catalyst polytip feels somewhere in between. It picks up a really good amount of paint allowing you to do longer brush movements like a dense badger hair brush. But it maintains it's shape like a hog hair brush, but without the dense roughness.

I've mostly used these brushes for bolder "outline" work so there is definitely a unique purpose. And I really like how the round brush maintains its shape to create consistent impasto marks. It seems to do so despite how rough I can be with my brushes, and how much mineral spirits I use to constantly clean them.

I added a few photos. The major areas were not painting with these brushes as they are smaller. But these brushes did help me achieve some of the line details and consistent marks you might find on these pieces.

I love the Princeton brush set I purchased at Michael’s. So happy to see you are carrying Princeton now. They are my go to brand for painting in oils and acrylics.

I went all the way to Boston to buy my first catalyst wedge. I was so happy to see that Michaels now carries these Princeton tools. I bought quite a few during the 40% coupon. Thank you Michaels.
