A long-handle synthetic set for oil and acrylic painters who want a classic studio feel with dependable control.
This set is aimed at painters working at the easel, especially in oils and acrylics, where longer handles improve reach and viewing distance. The Ivory round, long flat, short flat, and filbert combination gives a useful studio range for drawing in paint, laying broad passages, cutting edges, and shaping forms. It is a practical all-purpose set rather than a specialist one, which makes it a strong choice for painters who want a unified long-handle kit without mixing brush families.
The Ivory range is known for being a sensible synthetic option that bridges everyday durability and comfortable handling. That matters in oil and acrylic work, where brushes need to stand up to repeated loading and cleaning. The set covers the essentials well: rounds for detail and line, flats for structure and coverage, and a filbert for softer blends and curved marks. For artists building a studio collection, this set is often more useful than a handful of random individual brushes because it provides a coherent working system.
What makes this brush special
Expect a familiar easel-painter feel, with long handles that balance nicely and give a more traditional oil-painting posture. The synthetic fibres should offer spring and clean edges, with enough resilience for repeated use. Overall quality should be consistent and sensible, with the handmade brand ethos showing in the brush response and durability. The presentation is likely straightforward, focused on performance rather than display.

How to care for your brush
Synthetic brushes are easier to maintain than natural hair, but oils and acrylics still need proper cleaning. Remove paint promptly with the appropriate cleaner, then wash with soap and warm water if needed. Warm water is fine, but avoid very hot water and avoid leaving the brushes standing in solvent or water for long periods. Reshape flats and filberts after cleaning, and lay them flat or stand them bristle-up only once fully dry. Storing long handles in a rack or tube helps protect the tips and keeps the set ready for studio use.
