The Royal & Langnickel Large Area Long Handle Flat Brush Set gives you three white bristle flat brushes on long handles, designed for easel work and larger-scale painting. The extended handles keep your hand further from the canvas, giving you a broader view of your work and more fluid, expressive arm movements — the approach used by most painters working at an easel on larger canvases.
White bristle is a firm, durable natural hair that works particularly well with heavier bodied paints, providing excellent paint pickup and release across large surfaces. The flat brush shape is ideal for blocking in backgrounds, basecoating canvases, and covering broad areas efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a long handle brush?
Long handle brushes are designed for easel work. The extended handle keeps your hand and arm further from the canvas, allowing you to see more of your painting as you work, make more fluid gestural strokes, and judge proportions more accurately. Most professional painters working on canvas at an easel use long handle brushes for this reason.
What paints are these brushes suitable for?
White bristle brushes are best suited to heavier bodied paints including acrylics, oils, and craft paints. They are not ideal for watercolour, which requires softer, more flexible brushes.
How do I clean white bristle brushes?
For acrylic, clean while the paint is still wet with water. For oil paint, use white spirit or turpentine followed by brush soap and warm water. Always reshape the bristles and store flat or brush-end up to maintain the shape.
What is the difference between RART-110 and RART-120?
Both sets contain 3 white bristle large area flat brushes. RART-110 has short handles, suited to tabletop and craft work. RART-120 has long handles, better suited to easel painting and larger canvases.
