Synthetic acrylic and oil range. Long handles, durable fibres for heavier paint applications.
The Winsor & Newton Galeria range is designed for acrylic and oil painters, featuring long handles and durable synthetic fibres that stand up to thicker paints and more vigorous brushwork. It is W&N's answer to the need for affordable, reliable brushes that handle the demands of acrylic and oil painting.
The Galeria range covers all essential shapes โ rounds, flats, filberts, fans, and detail brushes โ with fibres that resist the drying, pulling nature of acrylic paint. For hobby painters and miniature enthusiasts working with acrylics, Galeria brushes offer solid performance for basecoating, drybrushing, and general work at a price that encourages buying a full set.

How to care for your brush
Clean promptly after use โ acrylic paint dries quickly and permanently. Rinse thoroughly, clean with brush soap, and reshape. The synthetic fibres are durable but acrylic build-up in the ferrule will eventually ruin any brush. Never let acrylic dry in the brush.
