The Royal & Langnickel Jumbo Round Brush Size 30 is designed for artists working at large scale — ideal for murals, oversized canvases, and bold gestural painting. The medium-stiff gold taklon bristles are perfectly suited to thin viscosity paints and washes, making this brush the go-to for broad colour laying, glazing, and expressive wet-on-wet work at scale.
The round shape at size 30 is a remarkably versatile large brush — it holds a generous amount of paint, comes to a point for controlled edges when needed, and delivers fluid, natural marks that flat brushes can't replicate. Combined with the 7-inch kiln-dried hardwood handle and nickel-plated brass seamless ferrule, this is a robust, professional brush built for sustained heavy use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gold taklon and how does it differ from bone taklon?
Gold taklon is a medium-stiff synthetic fibre with a warm golden colour, engineered for thin to medium viscosity paints — watercolour, thin acrylics, inks, and washes. Bone taklon (as used in the R965 series) is extra-stiff and better suited to heavy-body oil and acrylic. If you are working with fluid or diluted paint at large scale, the R205 gold taklon is the right choice. For heavy-body paint, choose the R965 bone taklon.
What is a round brush best for at this scale?
At size 30, the round shape delivers expressive, fluid marks with a natural taper — ideal for gestural painting, broad washes, laying in large colour areas, and any work where you want the brush to move freely rather than make clean, geometric edges. The point allows for more control at the edge of a stroke than a flat brush of equivalent size.
Is this brush suitable for watercolour?
The medium-stiff gold taklon is suitable for fluid paints including thin acrylics, inks, and medium-body watercolour at large scale. For very delicate watercolour work, a softer brush is usually preferred, but for expressive large-format watercolour this brush performs well.
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. Always reshape the bristles and store flat or bristle-end up to maintain the point.
