Abteilung 502 Filbert Brush 8 (ABT840-8)

Filbert brushes are the figure painter's secret weapon — the rounded flat head blends one layer into the next without leaving a hard edge, so skin tones and uniforms come out smooth and luminous. This size 8 Abteilung 502 is the largest, made for coats, cloaks and broad areas where you want an even, feathered finish fast.

Why it's good

• Best for large surfaces, coats and broad blends
• Applies filters and washes evenly over big areas

When there's a lot of cloth or coverage to blend, the size 8 gets you there without patchiness.

Even blends over the big surfaces. Keep the tip in shape with brush care gel.
