Smooth, versatile brushes that glide with paint, they are best used with heavy body or fluid paint. They are firm yet flexible and have a lovely silky texture when working with them. They are perfect for both precision work and looser styles and can be used with acrylic and oils.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">I decided to give a few sizes in both the flat and round a little try out. I used <\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/colour\/acrylic\/acrylic-paint\/brand\/jacksons?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">Jackson&#8217;s Artist Acrylic<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"> in <\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/jackson-s-artist-acrylic-paint-60ml-orange-red?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">Orange Red<\/a>\u00a0as I thought it would be a good test for both brushing out flat and creating more defined brush marks.<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u00a0<\/span>I used two of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/brands\/jackson-s\/jackson-s-surfaces\/jackson-s-ultralite-linen-board?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">Jackson&#8217;s Ultralite\u00a0Panels<\/a> to test the brushes out on as it is a great, lightweight surface<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>When first touching the brushes without having paint on them, I could feel that they had a great spring and bounced back when I pushed them onto my hand. I was surprised at how much water and paint the brush held, this meant that my lines went further and I was able to create a more continuous line. The brush also reacted well when I applied pressure to it, the bristles did not splay outwards and held their shape well.<\/p>\n<p>In the Flat range I tried the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/jackson-s-onyx-synthetic-brush-flat-mottler-size-1?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">Mottler 1 inch<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/jackson-s-onyx-synthetic-brush-flat-size-1-2?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">1\/2 inch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/jackson-s-onyx-synthetic-brush-flat-size-1-4?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">1\/4 inch<\/a> and in the Round I sampled sizes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/jackson-s-onyx-synthetic-brush-round-size-12?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">12<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/jackson-s-onyx-synthetic-brush-round-size-8?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">8<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/jackson-s-onyx-synthetic-brush-round-size-4?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">4<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/jackson-s-onyx-synthetic-brush-round-size-1?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">1<\/a> with a variety of different brush strokes. I noticed that I had the ability to produce both thick, bold lines with the flat brush and also really thin lines with the edge of the bristles without it dragging or the bristles splaying. The brushes also allow you to blend really easily and are flexible enough that you can create subtle, soft marks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_978660\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-978660\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-21.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-978660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-21.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-21-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-21-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-21-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-21-620x413.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-21-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-21-940x627.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-978660\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Onyx Flat Brushes &#8211; Mottler 1 inch, 1\/2 inch and 1\/4 inch using Jackson&#8217;s Artist Acrylic on our  10 x 8 inch Ultralite Panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_978661\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-978661\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-12.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-978661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-12.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-12-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-12-620x413.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-12-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Jacksons_Icon_Brush_Test-12-940x627.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-978661\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Onyx Round Brushes in size 12, 8, 4 and 1 using Jackson&#8217;s Artist Acrylic on our 10 x 8 inch Ultralite Panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Click on the underlined link to go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/brands\/jackson-s\/jackson-s-brushes\/jackson-s-onyx?+-+Atelier+Acrylic\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Onyx brushes<\/span><\/a> on the Jackson\u2019s Art Supplies website.<\/p>\n<p>Brush orders over \u00a320 have free\u00a0worldwide shipping.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new range of brushes!<br \/>\nThe Onyx are a range of stiff haired, short handled synthetic brushes which have a great spring, hold their shape incredibly well and have a good colour holding capacity.
