Brush set Talens Van Gogh series 302-305 sizes 8 — oil & acrylic

Talens Van Gogh brush set combining series 302, 303, 304 and 305 in size 8 is designed for oil and acrylic painting on canvas and board. This set groups multiple brush shapes from the Van Gogh range in a consistent size so artists can switch between filbert, round, flat and bright shapes while maintaining the same working feel. Brushes in the set are intended for use with both slow-drying oil paints and fast-drying acrylics, providing predictable handling across media.

Advantages

The set offers a consistent size across different brush shapes, allowing uniform stroke width and predictable control when changing tools. The brushes are suitable for both oil and acrylic, reducing the need to purchase separate brushes for different media. The combination of round, filbert, flat and bright shapes covers a wide range of painting techniques from detailed work to broad coverage.

How to use

Select the brush shape that matches the technique: use rounds for detail and lines, filberts for controlled blending and shape work, flats for larger coverage and brights for short controlled strokes. Wet synthetic or natural-hair bristles lightly before loading with paint when working with acrylics to ease paint flow; for oil painting, load brushes with an appropriate amount of paint and solvent or medium as required by your technique. Clean brushes between color changes and after each session following medium-specific cleaning methods to maintain shape and performance.

Usage recommendations

Rinse brushes thoroughly after acrylic use and reshape the bristles while damp; for oil painting, remove excess paint with a solvent and wash with soap and water before reshaping. Store brushes horizontally or bristle-up in a container to preserve the ferrule and tip integrity.
