Winsor & Newton Artists Hog Oil Brush Pack of 5 Large
Product description
These handcrafted hog brushes offer reliable performance for oil painters seeking consistent colour loading and controlled strokes. The pack contains five large brushes made with Chungking bristles, chosen for their stiffness and flagged ends that help hold pigment and medium. They suit studio work where dependable handling and paint retention matter, and they perform well with heavier-bodied oil colours.
Key features
The brushes are traditional hog bristle, handcrafted to preserve natural spring and resilience. Flagged bristle tips increase paint carrying capacity, so you spend less time reloading on the palette. The robust construction makes them suitable for broad coverage and textured techniques. Note that natural hair may vary slightly in tone and feel according to the batch.

Usage tips
For best results, use these brushes with heavier oil paints and mediums where stiffness helps shape brushwork. Clean thoroughly after each session with an appropriate brush cleaner or mild solvent and reshape the bristles while damp. It’s worth bearing in mind that natural bristles can splay if left loaded with paint for long periods, so avoid prolonged soaking without cleaning.
Care & maintenance
Rinse and remove excess paint immediately after use, then use a gentle brush soap to restore bristle suppleness. Store brushes flat or with bristles up to avoid deformation. With proper cleaning and storage, these brushes retain their spring and remain useful across many painting sessions.
