Grand Prix® brushes are handmade by expert artisans who undergo extensive training before they are skilled enough to produce the kind of quality that has become synonymous with Silver Brush Limited. Grand Prix® fine art brushes feature pure white natural Chungking hog bristles that are naturally cupped and have highly prized natural flags (AKA: split ends) that help capture and carry color across your canvas. You can expect fine points, chiseled edges and a snap that just won’t quit. Perfectly balanced matte green handles reduce glare when painting en plein air while an attractive copper-plated brass ferrule protects the brush from corrosion. Grand Prix® is the choice brush of modern masters who use them to paint official presidential portraits, religious figures, celebrities and titans of industry.

Specific Way to Clean the Brush:

• Be sure to clean your Grand Prix® brush after each painting session. Letting paint dry in the brush can cause it to not perform as expected.
• Never leave your brushes sitting in water for any length of time as this can eventually break down the epoxy barrier in the ferrule.
• Wipe as much paint off of the brush head as you can before cleaning with an artist-grade mineral spirit or odorless solvent.
• Lay flat to dry.
