💡 ARTIST PRO TIPS
Maximize Your Brush Performance
- 🧼 Proper Cleaning: Thoroughly clean after each use, especially with acrylics. For oils, first clean with appropriate solvent, then wash with mild soap and warm water.
- ✏️ Line Variation Technique: Practice varying pressure to achieve different line widths. Light touch for hairline details, increased pressure for bold expressive strokes.
- 🎨 Optimal Paint Loading: For maximum control, load only 1/3 of the bristle length, particularly when working on detailed areas or fine linework.
- 📂 Smart Storage: Store flat or bristles-up to maintain shape. Never leave standing in water or solvent for extended periods (though Acrylix brushes are more resilient than natural hair).
Perfect Applications For Your Round Brush
- 🖌️ Portraiture: Use sizes 0-2 for facial details like eyes and lips; sizes 3-6 for blending and modeling facial features
- 🌿 Botanical Painting: Sizes 000-1 for delicate stamens and veining; sizes 2-4 for petals and leaves
- 🏞️ Landscape: Sizes 4-8 for tree branches and foliage details; sizes 10-16 for broader sky and water techniques

🏢 THE PRO ARTE LEGACY
Founded in 1973 in Yorkshire, UK, Pro Arte began as the vision of artist Ron Thompson to create the world's finest brushes. During the mid-1980s, while other manufacturers were slow to innovate, Pro Arte pioneered synthetic alternatives to natural hair brushes, developing the revolutionary Acrylix series specifically engineered for acrylic painting.
This family-run business combines modern manufacturing techniques with traditional hand-finishing to ensure exceptional quality and consistency in every brush. With Ron's son Peter now involved, Pro Arte continues to innovate and set the standard for artist's brushes worldwide.
When you choose a Pro Arte brush, you're not just buying a tool—you're investing in over five decades of artistic excellence and innovation.
