Da Vinci Top Acryl brushes are made of extremely resistant red-brown synthetic fibres which are especially developed for impasto painting. This is an outstanding, top of the line brush for oil, acrylic, water-mixable oils, priming and of course, varnish. It has a short black-red polished handle and a rust-proof steel ferrule made according to certified green manufacturing. Brushes are handmade in Germany at the da Vinci family owned factory since 1890.
