465 Long Filbert Indian Sable

Indian sable is very satisfying to paint oils and acrylics. These brushes are ideal for portraits, including wet and thick applications. They are highly recommended to all oil painters. A little courser than sable and not as expensive they offer greater control and spring (European sizes. i.e. size 12 is equivalent to English size 6). The 465 is similar to a 460 but thinner and has longer hair for delicate control and fine detail.

The filbert has a flat ferrule and rounded hair end. The flat side is used for wider strokes and the edge for more linear purposes. A versatile brush that gives a softer finish than the flats or brights.
