Rosemary & Co. SERIES 2045. Chungking Filbert

Chungking Bristles (from hogs raised in the region of the Chinese city of Chungking) are considered the best for oil painting, having long, deep flags. Theoretically, the longer the flags, the better the bristle. Used mainly for oil, acrylic, and hobby ceramics. Interlocked ‘curved’ heads allow retention of shape. These superior-quality bristles are less likely to ‘splay’ or spread.

Many Oil and Acrylic artists use our Series 2045s. This shape is typical of what the old masters would have used. The filbert allows a broad stroke without the harsh edge the flats may give.
