Silver Brush Limited® manufactures a wide range of artists’ brushes for acrylic painting. In honor of Acrylic April, we are comparing three of our most popular series for this medium and how they stand out from a crowd!
Ruby Satin®
Ruby Satin® is a synthetic filament that imitates mongoose. These beauties come in both short or long handle versions and feature a perfectly balanced deep green colored handle and deep ruby colored filaments with a medium stiffness.
- Can be used in soft, medium, or heavy bodied acrylics (and oils when cleaned with an odorless solvent)
- Long handle version features 4 shapes and 30 sizes while the short handle version features 10 shapes and 48 sizes
- Large size short handle brights are perfect for painting broad landscapes and backgrounds
- Short handle detail brushes are excellent for creating fur, grass or eyelashes
