Round Goat Hair Paint Brushes Milan Series 101 — set of 4 (MPN 483549)

Set of four round paint brushes Milan Series 101 with natural goat hair bristles designed for detail work, glazing and fine lines in both water-based and oil-based media. The brushes combine a rounded tip and dense natural hair to provide controlled paint pickup and smooth release, making them suitable for delicate strokes and subtle blending. The set is supplied in a blister pack that protects the bristles and keeps the handles organized during storage and transport.

Advantages

The natural goat hair offers good paint absorption and a soft touch that helps produce even glazes and gradual transitions. Round ferrule construction maintains a fine point for precision and reliable tip shape over repeated use. The set of four sizes provides a range of tip diameters for tasks from very fine lines to small washes, reducing the need to switch tools frequently. The blister pack keeps the brushes secure and reduces deformation of the bristles when not in use.

Suitable for

• Detail painting and fine line work in illustrations and miniatures
• Glazing and soft blending on canvas or board
• Restoration and conservation tasks requiring delicate strokes
• Hobby projects with acrylics, gouache, oils and water-miscible media

How to use

Before first use, gently shape the bristles if needed and remove any loose hairs. Wet the brush slightly when using water-based media or apply a small amount of solvent or medium for oil paints to aid flow. Load the brush evenly by dipping the midsection of the hairs into paint rather than submerging the ferrule, then form a point by drawing the brush lightly across the palette. Use light, controlled strokes for fine lines and soft pressure for broader strokes and glazing. After each session, rinse thoroughly with appropriate cleaner (water for water-based media; mild solvent or brush cleaner for oils), reshape the tip, and store horizontally or bristle-up in the blister pack until fully dry.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid leaving brushes standing in solvent or water for extended periods, as this can damage the wooden handles and loosen the ferrule. Use a gentle soap and lukewarm water to clean natural-hair bristles and reshape while damp to maintain a reliable point. Select the brush size within the set that matches the scale of the detail to maintain control and reduce undue wear.
