Hamburg Premier Professional Brushes feature: Brights, Filberts and Rounds. Created from a strategic proprietary blend of natural and synthetic blended multi-filament sizes of hair. The blend harmoniously matches the strength and resilience of Mongoose! Our proprietary, carefully balanced blend of both multiple diameter synthetic filaments and natural hair varieties produced more reliable pointing and cleaner brush edges than Mongoose had been able to provide, while being absorbent and durable. Brush bellies trap more thinned paint and glazes with this formulation, allowing for glazing while maintaining detailed precision. The balanced blend, just like Mongoose, provides the hair strength to paint with heavy bodied paint for more impasto applications.Yet, unlike mongoose, cleans easier and more completely due in part to the synthetic filament content, easily coming back to shape for the next painting session.

"I initially used the brushes while painting on the smooth surface of the AlumaComp and later on a commissioned canvas piece I was painting. I found it to be quite a versatile brush for both. It has precisely the right amount of softness to be effective on a smooth surface yet the stiffness to push paint around on canvas. Badger hairs are traditionally used in more high-end shaving brushes. The bristle is more of a coarse hair but on the smoother side of the spectrum. I found that using them from my blending work on canvas was a completely different experience. Hamburg Premier Professional Brushes carry the paint as well as a hog hairbrush but they have the subtlety of a soft brush when doing blending work. It's a go-to brush for anyone painting on canvas or minen looking for a brush that does it all." - Eric Armusik, Professional Artist
