Pro Arte : Prolene Synthetic Watercolour Brushes
Pro Arte : Prolene Synthetic Watercolour Brushes
Pro Arte is one of the world’s leading brush makers. In the 1980's, the UK based company were responsible for the first good quality synthetic alternative to the sable brush, with the creation of the Prolene range.
Each brush in the Prolene range has improved colour holding and pointing properties. They are made with synthetic polyester bristles specially developed so that they don’t become charged up with static electricity. This means they behave like sable while being more durable and less expensive.
Prolene brushes are set in an attractive ferrule which is plated with gold. The polished teak handle completes the brush - they are very comfortable and practical for a variety of applications and techniques.

Great brush and a fair price (Posted on 07/01/2019)Rating - Review by Feefo
Not yet used but feels nicely springy as a rigger should. Nowadays, because they hold more liquid, I tend to use artificial fibre riggers at least as often as my small sables. (Posted on 15/11/2018)Rating - Review by Feefo
Really excellent for painting (Posted on 12/10/2018)Rating - Review by Feefo
Seems ok for pulling out colour, which is what I wanted it for (Posted on 22/08/2018)Rating - Review by Feefo

I bought this for oil painting and it is proving to be just as I wanted and easy to clean and re-use. (Posted on 16/03/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo
I know this is marketed as a watercolour brush but I find it so good for large acrylic paintings - retains its thin edge well if not treated badly. (Posted on 16/03/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo
nice brush (Posted on 16/03/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo

For a very fine brush I think I should have looked around for a more robust one. In just a short time it has lost its point. (Posted on 16/03/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo

I'm using this rigger for acrylic painting and find it great for loose flicking of colour onto the canvas. (Posted on 16/03/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo
best in its class, far longer lasting than sable (Posted on 16/03/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo
I like these brushes so much. (Posted on 16/03/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo

A lovely brush to paint in oils with. (Posted on 06/03/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo
Excellent brush, easy to use, holds sufficient paint for my fine watercolour detail when a smaller size rigger isn't quite enough. Good partner for a hake brush. (Posted on 08/02/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo
Absolutely brilliant brushes -have used them for years (Posted on 16/10/2016)Rating - Review by Feefo

excellent product - the paint used on the handles could be less sensitive to brush cleaners. (Posted on 06/09/2016)Rating - Review by Feefo
Haven't used this one yet, but other pro arte brushes have been fine. (Posted on 23/02/2016)Rating - Review by Feefo

Only a beginner so perfectly adequate (Posted on 05/05/2015)Rating - Review by Feefo
BUT... I did ask that the watercolour paper be cut in quarters before being sent and it wasn't. This was disappointing as I find it very difficult to cut at home. Apart from that truly excellent service and great prices. (Posted on 17/04/2015)Rating - Review by Feefo

Prompt delivery and good prices let down by poor packaging. Some brushes taped to paint tube to prevent movement and damage but caused opposite by damaging the hairs on fine brushes. Not serious enough to make formal complaint but irritating. DONT TAPE BRUSHES BY THEIR HAIRS! Would be my message (Posted on 30/10/2014)Rating
