Acrylics call for very special brushes. And these are those brushes.
Royal Langnickel’s soft grip brushes are a great cheap-and-cheerful option for anyone starting out. These brushes are affordable and typically perform well for their price range, being decent choice for making clean strokes. The bristles are quite soft, and the soft grip is comfortable to hold.
Whilst they don’t hold as much paint as other brands, they typically come back to a decent point after cleaning, and they're flexible enough to feel quite responsive. I find they tend not to last as long as pricier brushes but they're a great brush for acrylics for students and beginners.Whichever paintbrushes you choose to use, it's important to clean your brushes thoroughly after use.
Clean off as much paint as you can using a clean cloth or paper towel by wrapping the cloth around the ferrule of the brush and squeezing it with your thumb and forefinger. Work up towards the end of the bristles and repeat as many times as you need. You can use water in a jar or brush-washer to clean as much paint as you can from the bristles, and then use a brush cleaner for a thorough clean .
When working with acrylics, we recommend using a selection of different shape and size brushes – large brushes are useful for applying broad areas of colour quickly. Brush texture is worth considering too. Soft brushes suit blending and produce a smoother paint surface, while firmer brushes leave expressive marks and produce more textured effects.
