Abteilung 502 Filbert Brush 6 (ABT840-6)

Filbert brushes are the figure painter's secret weapon — that rounded flat tip melts one layer into the next instead of stopping in a hard line, which is exactly what skin tones and uniform highlights need to read as smooth rather than stepped. This size 6 Abteilung 502 is the everyday choice, big enough to move paint across a torso while still feathering highlights cleanly.

Best for

• Blending skin tones and uniform panels on 28-32mm figures
• Smooth, edge-free transitions between highlight layers
• Filters and washes as well as straight blending

The filbert most painters keep loaded on the bench — versatile enough to stay in your hand for most of a session.

The go-to size for figure blending. Keep the tip in shape with brush soap, or browse the wider brush range.
