Astra Astrino brush set with natural hair contains three artist brushes in sizes 2, 6 and 12. The set includes natural bristles, wooden handles and metal ferrules that secure the bristles. The brushes are designed for paint application and blending across a range of media compatible with natural hair, offering tools for fine detail, general painting and broader strokes in both hobby and studio environments.
Advantages
The natural bristles provide good paint pickup and controlled release, enabling smooth strokes and subtle gradations. Wooden handles offer balanced grip and control during extended painting sessions, while the ferrules hold bristles firmly in place to reduce splaying. The three sizes (2, 6, 12) cover a useful range from fine lines to broader washes, making the set versatile for varied painting techniques. The brushes are suitable for water-based media and other compatible paints where natural hair performance is preferred.

How to use
Wet the brush slightly before loading paint for water-based media to improve fluidity and color flow. Load an appropriate amount of paint on the bristles and use the size-2 brush for fine lines and detail, size-6 for general strokes and shaping, and size-12 for broader areas and washes. Clean brushes promptly after use with water or an appropriate cleaner for the chosen medium, reshape the bristles gently, and allow them to dry horizontally or with the bristles pointing down to maintain shape and avoid water ingress into the ferrule.
Usage recommendations
Rinse brushes thoroughly after each session, avoid excessive soaking of the wooden handles, and store brushes with bristles protected to extend their service life.
