Brush set Pelikan 700405

The Pelikan 700405 brush set contains 10 assorted artist brushes made from high-quality pony hair, designed for a wide range of painting techniques. The set is supplied in blister packaging that keeps brushes organized and accessible while protecting bristles during storage and transport. Brushes provide good paint retention and a smooth application, suitable for water-based and acrylic paints used on paper and similar surfaces.

Advantages

The pony hair bristles offer fine paint-holding capacity and flexible tips that allow controlled strokes and softer blending. The assortment of sizes covers both detail work and broader strokes, reducing the need to switch tools frequently. Durable wooden handles and secure ferrules maintain brush shape through repeated use when cared for properly. Blister packaging simplifies storage and visual identification of brush sizes.

Suitable for

• Sketches and detailed illustration work using water-based paints

Key specifications

• Set composition: 10 assorted brushes with varied tip sizes and shapes

How to use

Select a brush size appropriate for the area and level of detail you need. Load the brush lightly with water-based or acrylic paint and apply with controlled strokes; use the pointed tips for fine lines and round or flat shapes for broader coverage. Rinse brushes promptly between colour changes to avoid pigment buildup, reshape the bristles gently after cleaning and allow them to dry horizontally or with bristle ends down to preserve shape and prevent water from loosening the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

For longer brush life, clean with mild soap and lukewarm water after each session, avoid soaking handles for extended periods, and store the set in its blister packaging or a dry, ventilated place. Use the larger brushes for washes and backgrounds, and the smaller brushes for detail and edges to make full use of the assortment.
