2/0 sits on the border between detail and layering. It still comes to a point, but the belly holds enough thinned paint to pull a glaze across a whole cheek or a full armour plate without reloading halfway – the moment where a smaller brush leaves a tide mark.

Frequently asked questions
Does synthetic fibre hold glazes as well as sable?
Not quite – sable holds more water and releases it more evenly. Synthetic makes up for it with a springier tip and total indifference to harsh thinners.
How thin should a glaze be?
Thin enough that it looks like tinted water on the palette. If you can see the colour clearly in the well, it is too thick for a glaze.
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.
