## Long description

SMARTMAX Artists' Oil Synthetic Hog Filbert size 12 is a mid-large filbert brush designed for oil painting. The brush combines synthetic filaments engineered to mimic natural hog bristles with a rounded, slightly flattened filbert tip to deliver controlled strokes, smooth blending and varied mark-making. Size 12 provides a balance between coverage and precision, suitable for working on medium to large areas as well as refining edges and transitions in oil color.
Advantages
The synthetic hog-style bristles offer stiffness and spring similar to natural hog hair while providing easier cleaning and greater durability with oil mediums. The filbert shape allows both flat and rounded strokes without changing brushes, enabling smooth blending, tapered strokes and controlled line work. The size 12 head supports efficient paint pickup and even paint release, reducing the need for frequent reloads and helping maintain consistent application across the canvas.
Suitable for
 Blending and softening edges in oil paintings
 Applying mid-to-large area base layers and glazes
 Creating tapered strokes and controlled marks in portrait and landscape work
 Working with stiff or heavy-bodied oil colors
Key specifications
 Brush shape: filbert (rounded, slightly flattened tip)
 Bristle type: synthetic filaments designed to mimic hog hair
 Size: 12 (mid-large head suitable for varied brushwork)
 Performance: firm stiffness with good spring and paint retention
 Recommended medium: oil paints
How to use
Dampen lightly or use solvent/medium appropriate for oil painting to load paint evenly onto the synthetic hog filaments. Use the rounded edge of the filbert for blending and soft transitions, and the flat side for broader coverage. Apply controlled pressure to vary stroke width and taper; lighter pressure creates finer edges while firmer pressure creates fuller marks. Clean the brush after use with suitable solvent and follow with soap and water or brush cleaner to preserve bristle shape and spring.
Usage recommendations
For best results with oil color, pair this filbert size 12 with a medium or solvent that matches your working method (e.g., linseed-based medium for extended open time). Store bristles flat or upright after reshaping the tip to maintain the filbert profile. Avoid prolonged soaking that can weaken the ferrule or loosen adhesive bonds.
