 Acrylic
Brushes 
Brushes used
for acrylics, like those favored
by oil painters, have long
handles that allow the artist
to work at a distance from
the canvas.
Acrylic paints
are more caustic than oils,
so acrylic brushes are designed
with synthetics and bristle.
Fitch and sable
are generally used only with
oil paints.
As a rule-of-thumb,
acrylic brushes are usable
in other mediums, particularly
oils, while brushes designed
specifically for oil painting
and watercolors are unsuitable
for acrylics.
Acrylic paints
are less costly than oils,
and dry more quickly. Acrylic
paints can also be used with
mediums other than canvas
and paper. This has sometimes
encouraged artists to work
on a giant scale. For large
scale works, the larger sized
brushes are far less costly
with synthetic fibers and
bristle.

Studio Synthetic Brushes 
A synthetic brush that actually
feels like a bristle brush!
The result of years of development,
the individual filaments have
the extreme taper of natural
bristle and are gently coaxed
with heat to a natural curve.
Ideal for the new water-mixable
oil paints, these brushes
retain their stiffness in
water. They are also less
susceptible to the ravages
of acrylic paint. They cost
a bit more than bristle, but
may save you in the long run.
