These are our go-to short-handled synthetics when budget is a consideration. Combining quality and affordability, Taklon is a synthetic fibre ideal for acrylic, watercolour, inks, and gouache, due to its softness, durability and ease of cleaning. Also suitable for oils or any medium with a light body. These short-handled workhorses come in a variety of popular brush shapes (liners, rounds, filberts, flats, brights, and angled) and sizes ranging from fine detail to big and bold.
