da Vinci | CHUNEO 7429 filbert brushes — synthetic hair

These da Vinci CHUNEO 7429 filbert brushes have synthetic Chungking bristles — CHUNGKING, but different and better!

For centuries, artists have valued brushes made from Chungking, the very finest hog bristle. However, genuine Chungking is becoming scarcer and more expensive with each passing year. What’s more, an increasing number of people are seeking to reduce their use of animal-derived materials. That is why da Vinci — one of the finest brush makers since the late 19th century — developed a high-quality alternative: CHUNEO. This synthetic hair comes as close as possible to Chungking — and in some respects even surpasses the original!

The bristles are robust, yet flexible. They are almost indestructible and retain their shape, resilience and character, even with intensive use. What’s more, they are easier to clean than genuine hog bristle.

The brush shape of this 7429 series from the CHUNEO range is a cat’s tongue — perfect for glazing, fine details & shading, and finishing touches.
