Giorgione brush set

One set, every stage of a painting

Most paintings need more than one brush. You need a fine tip for detail, a full belly for washes, and a broad edge for backgrounds. This 11-piece Giorgione set puts those tools in one pack, so you can start painting without buying brushes one at a time.

The brushes are made for water-based paints: acrylic, watercolour, and gouache. They hold paint well, release it smoothly, and spring back into shape after each stroke. That makes them a good fit for beginners learning control, and a handy spare set for experienced painters.

Choosing the right brush from the set

• Fine and small brushes: Detail, outlines, lettering, and small features.
• Medium round brushes: General painting, filling shapes, and shaping colour.
• Flat and wide brushes: Backgrounds, washes, and covering larger areas.
• Specialty shapes: Texture, blending, and special effects, depending on the shapes in your set.

If you’re not sure where to start, begin with a medium round for general work and a flat for backgrounds, then use the finer brushes once the main shapes are down.

Care tips

1. Rinse brushes in clean water straight after use, before the paint dries.
2. Wash gently with mild soap, working from the ferrule to the tip, then rinse until the water runs clear.
3. Reshape the bristles into their original form with your fingers, and let the brushes dry flat or with the bristles pointing up.
4. Don’t leave brushes resting on their bristles in water, which can bend the tips.
5. Keep strong solvents away unless the packaging says they’re safe.
6. Store with the bristles protected, in the case or box, or a brush roll or pot.

Good to know

• The set is made for water-based paints. For oils, use brushes designed for oil painting and the right solvents.
• Brush sizes aren’t standard between manufacturers, so the numbers give an idea of size, not an exact measurement.
• Keep out of reach of young children.
