981 Robert Wade

NEEF taklon brushes were developed through collaboration between Neef and Robert Wade over 25 years ago. They are our best selling brushes and are suitable for most techniques including watercolour, gouache, inks, acrylics, oils etc. They have very strong filaments which give great snap and colour carrying capacity. They also offer a great point, spring and precise control particularly when brush marks are not required in paint film. They do not carry as much colour as sable / squirrel but are a fraction of the price. Our taklon range caters to all types of artist with many shapes and sizes available.

Until 25 years ago all quality brushes were made from animal hair. That is until the advent of synthetically made hair. The first taklons brought onto the market were not great but through a collaboration between Neef and Robert Wade they were greatly improved. The Robert Wade range is still quite amazing in their performance considering the price of natural hair brushes.
