Mike Lavallee's Pictorial Brush Set

 

Hi, my name is Mike Lavallee. I have been in the sign and custom paint business for 20 years making the better part of my living with my pictorial art, and pinstriping for customers from all over the world.

Working with the Andrew Mack and Son Brush Company, we have developed a new line of quality pictorial brushes called Black Gold!

Black Gold

The finest quality multi-diameter, silky soft, flagged Taklon, specially selected and blended together to achieve the performance of the best red sable, but with the durability of a synthetic brush. The ratio of our blend gives you a unique and superior capillary action in the release of color, far beyond other single diameter material offered by other manufacturers.

These brushes are very versatile and durable, and I recommend you try them for all your pictorial needs. Also, you can use the two flat brushes for some awesome dry brush effects!

The 1/2" or Flat Brush is used for laying in larger areas of background colors, such as, sky, mountains, etc., and also for super dry brush slash effects that are very popular in the automotive paint business.

The Shader is a smaller version of the 1/2" and is used for smaller details like rocks, trees, feathers, etc.

The Dagger (my personal favorite!) is used for a multitude of things such as long quill like strokes, tall grasses, trees, also straight lines. Just experiment with this one!

The Fan Brush can be used for rendering fur, bush, trees, water, etc.

The Detailer is used for all tiny strokes like individual hairs, small feathers, etc. Also, I like to use it to do broken outlines around my dry brush strokes and lettering.

Available As A 5 Pc. Set Or Individually!


 The Big Dog

Introducing the Big Dog.
This brush is similar to Mike's 1/2" Flat Brush above, but twice as big. A full 1" for those really big murals!
For years I tried to paint pictorials with conventional sign brushes, but just didn't get the effect I wanted, not to mention the abuse I put my brushes through! The Black Gold Lavallee/Mack Series are the answer to that problem!

If any of these Black/Gold Taklon Brushes get crimped or bent during shipment or storage, they can usually be straightened with boiling hot water.

These brushes are also great for any water based paints, as well as, your lettering enamels! If you use them with enamels, just clean and oil them just like your lettering and striping brushes.

If you are using them with water based paints, just wash them with mild soap and water.

Don't mix oil and water. These brushes are affordable enough to buy a set for each.

I'm very proud of these brushes, that's why I have my name on them!!
