Phoenix 6604S Brush Set for Acrylic and Oil Painting
The 6604S set is part of the Phoenix Multi purpose Set range. The manufacturer describes it in its catalogue as a classic set for acrylic painting; the packaging states that it is suitable for acrylic and oil paints. The four brushes have synthetic nylon bristles and short maroon handles.
What’s in the set
- Round no. 1: bristles 1.3 cm long, brush length including ferrule 17 cm — fine details and outlines
- Round no. 4: bristles 2 cm long, brush length including ferrule 17 cm — shapes, leaves and shading
- Round no. 6: bristles 1.7 cm long, brush length including ferrule 17.3 cm — larger shapes and smaller areas
- Flat no. 12: bristles 2 cm long, brush length including ferrule 18.2 cm — larger areas, underpainting and sharp edges
How to use the set
The three pointed round brushes cover everything from outlines to larger shapes, while flat no. 12 is useful for underpainting, backgrounds and straight edges. The synthetic bristles are also suitable for thicker paint and are easy to wash out — especially useful with acrylics, as dried paint can quickly ruin a brush. The short handles are comfortable to use at a table, on smaller canvases and on paper.
