Brush set Pelikan 701181 artist paintbrush 8 pc(s)

The Pelikan 701181 artist paintbrush set includes eight assorted synthetic-bristle brushes designed for diverse painting techniques. This compact set combines round, flat and detail brushes that provide predictable paint flow and reliable edge control. The synthetic fibres are resilient and suitable for water-based and acrylic paints, while the lightweight handles offer balanced grip for extended use. The set is intended to support both learning artists and experienced painters who require versatile, easy-care brushes for everyday studio, classroom or hobby projects.

Advantages

The brushes feature durable synthetic bristles that maintain shape after repeated use and cleaning, delivering consistent stroke definition and even paint pickup. Handles are lightweight and properly tapered to facilitate control across fine details and broader strokes. The variety of brush shapes in the set reduces the need to change tools during a session, and the synthetic fibre composition is suitable for fast-drying media and easier maintenance compared with natural hair.

Suitable for

• Acrylic painting
• Water-based paints and tempera
• Sketching with ink washes
• Classroom art projects and hobby crafts
• Layering, detailing and base coating

Key specifications

How to use

Select an appropriately shaped brush from the set for the intended technique: rounds for details and lines, flats for washes and edges, and filbert or angled shapes for blended strokes. Before first use, rinse bristles in clean water to remove any loose fibres, then reshape the tip with your fingers. Load the brush with paint without over-saturating the ferrule, work on a palette to control paint amount, and apply with steady strokes. Clean brushes promptly after each session using water and mild soap, reshape the bristles and store flat or bristle-up once dry to maintain shape and prolong service life.

Usage recommendations

For longer brush life, avoid leaving synthetic brushes soaking in solvent or water for extended periods. Use appropriate cleaning procedures for the paint type used and reshape bristles after washing. Rotate brushes within the set according to task to reduce wear on individual brushes.
