I normally use chungking hog brushes when oil painting, but I saw these black hog ones
and was curious to see how they handle.

The set contains a range of shapes and sizes which appealed to me as mark-making is
central to my practice and I was also interested to see how the rounds compared to the
flat & filbert. The brushes are very sleek, the handle is smooth and comfortable to hold
and they are surprisingly lightweight. This is important to me as I tend to paint in
sessions, over 4-6 hours at a time.

The bristles themselves are slightly smoother than chungking hog and also have more
spring and snap. They still leave brushstrokes, which I like, but equally they can be
used to blend gradients and soften lines. The long flat and filbert are ideal for scumbling
trees and bushes in landscapes, and for painting dappled light. I also like to use these
shapes for edges and for shading-in areas. The rounds keep their points and I enjoyed
using them for outlines, detail and gestural marks.

I would definitely recommend this set to any oil painter, as the soft-coarse black hog
bristles are very versatile. I think they are extremely good value for money and
comparable to higher-priced brands such as Rosemary and Co. (Posted on 09/08/2022)

Good range of shapes/sizes at a good value. These brushes are great for roughly blocking in paint with acrylic/oil and hold their shape well. (Posted on 22/04/2021)
