The Winsor & Newton Winton Short Flat (Bright) size 14 brush is made from good quality Chinese hog bristles & are h&-set into seamless corrosion-resistant ferrules. The natural curve of the hog bristle produces a resilient brush which retains its `turned in` shape even after heavy use, allowing the artist more control & accuracy, whether painting with oils, alkyds or acrylics. The most popular hog brush shape produces the bold, defined marks expected from a flat brush. The Winsor & Newton Winton Short Flat (Bright) size 14 brush has shorter bristle length, this style gives greater control of thicker colour or when using large amounts of colour.
