"Da Vinci Pure Badger brushes contain the highest-quality silver-tipped pure badger hair, perfect for blending and softening oil paint on the canvas. Unlike other hair, pure badger hair is thickest at the tips, giving these brushes a bushy appearance. They're excellent for glazing techniques, and popular with decorative and faux finish painters because of their blending ability." -Blick
