Acrylic paint dries fast and can build up in the ferrule quickly, so brush choice and maintenance both matter more than with slower-drying mediums. Synthetic fibres are the standard recommendation for acrylic work: they resist paint buildup, hold their shape through repeated loading and cleaning, and are available across a wide range of shapes and price points. The selection at DeSerres covers taklon and other synthetic fibres in rounds, flats, filberts, liners, fans and mops, as well as hog hair brushes for painters who want more stiffness for impasto and textured work. Individual brushes and multi-brush sets are available across a wide range of sizes, from fine detail to large format.
