Liquitex - Basics Extra Big Brush Set

Basics Extra Big Brush Set

Cover canvases faster with oversized synthetic brushes built for acrylics

Broad strokes and background coverage become efficient rather than tedious with brushes designed for scale. These oversized synthetic flats move paint quickly across canvas, panel, or paper, transforming time-consuming base layers into manageable tasks. Fine synthetic bristles maintain smooth, even application despite their size, eliminating the streaky coverage that plagues lesser large-format brushes.

Liquitex engineers these brushes specifically for acrylic's demanding nature. Synthetic filaments resist the stiffening and splaying that occurs when acrylic dries in natural bristles, maintaining their shape and performance through countless painting sessions. The set pairs two flat brushes, sizes 1" and 2", providing flexibility between substantial coverage and slightly more controlled work. Both handles offer secure grip during the repetitive motions that large-area painting requires.

Students working on ambitious projects appreciate the combination of capable performance and accessible pricing. Cover grounds, block in compositions, or lay down bold color fields without the arm fatigue that comes from using undersized tools for oversized tasks.
