The Royal & Langnickel Jumbo Filbert Brush Size 30 is built for artists who work at scale. Extra-stiff bone taklon bristles give this brush the backbone needed to push heavy-body oil and acrylic paint across large canvases, murals, and oversized panels — delivering expressive, confident coverage with every stroke.
The filbert shape — oval with a rounded tip — makes this one of the most versatile large brush shapes available. It combines the broad coverage of a flat brush with the curved edge of a round, allowing you to work in sweeping strokes, blended edges, and organic curved marks that flat or round shapes can't match at this scale. Size 30 is a substantial working brush suited to bold, expressive painting and large ground coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is bone taklon?
Bone taklon is a synthetic brush fibre with a distinctive ivory or cream colouring, engineered to be extra-stiff. This stiffness makes it ideal for heavy-body paints — oils and thick acrylics — where softer synthetic fibres would collapse under the paint's weight. It holds its shape well during use and springs back reliably between strokes.
What is the filbert shape best for at large scale?
At size 30, the filbert shape is ideal for covering large areas with varied marks — broad sweeping strokes using the full face of the brush, curved organic shapes using the rounded tip, and blended edges where you want a softened rather than hard line. It is particularly well suited to landscapes, seascapes, figurative work at large scale, and expressive abstract painting.
Is this brush suitable for watercolour?
The extra-stiff bone taklon is designed specifically for heavy-body paints — oil and acrylic. It is too stiff for watercolour, which requires a much softer and more flexible brush to carry water and pigment effectively.
How do I clean this brush?
For acrylic, clean with water while the paint is still wet. For oil paint, clean with white spirit or turpentine followed by brush soap and warm water. The stiff synthetic fibres are robust and will handle thorough cleaning without damage. Always reshape and store flat or bristle-end up.
