XL is a scenery brush. Gaming boards, city ruins, cliff sections and large-scale models all have square decimetres of texture that need the same treatment, and this is the only size in the range that covers them without turning dry brushing into an evening-long job.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it with cheap craft paint on terrain?
Yes – for large terrain that is the sensible approach, and the stiff fibre does not care about the paint quality.
Does the large head lose the fine texture?
It picks up whatever stands proud, at any size. What it cannot do is aim – for selective work use a smaller dome.
How do I clean an AK synthetic brush?
Rinse it in clean water – or the matching thinner for enamels and oils – before the paint sets, work brush soap into the bristles with your fingers, reshape the tip and let it dry point-up. Never leave a brush standing in a jar. The cleaners are in thinners and cleaners.
Synthetic or Kolinsky sable?
Synthetic fibre is springier, cheaper and completely indifferent to harsh thinners, so it is the right choice for varnish, enamels, oils, pigments and every abrasive technique. Sable holds more liquid and comes to a finer point – that is the da Vinci brushes range. Most painters end up owning both and using each for what it does best.
The complete range is in the AK Interactive brushes category.
