Description
This is a review of the Catalyst Polytip Bristle Brush - Flat Size 4. This brush is designed to be used with medium to heavy-bodied acrylics and oil paints, and it has a true advance in the form of the Polytip feature. The brush has been split into individual hairs that have been given 2 to 3 distinct tips, which allows it to hold a higher volume of paint and provide a smoother application.
This new series is super stiff yet still extremely responsive. Unlike natural hog bristle, Catalyst has real integrity in water. Natural bristle can be rendered useless when it is water-soaked.
The true advance in Catalyst is the Polytip feature. For the first time, the tip of each individual hair has been split to replicate the natural flags on the finest natural bristle. By giving each individual hair 2 to 3 distinct tips, Catalyst is able to hold a higher volume of paint while providing a smoother application.
Designed for use with medium to heavy-bodied acrylics and oil paints, Catalyst pushes even heavy gel mediums with assurance.
