Paintbrush review: Picasso vs Purdy

by Sultan Decorators

Paintbrushes we’ve known and loved

Reza from Sultan Decorators has been in the trade for 12 years, and for over 6 of them, he has been refusing to try any other paintbrush brand than Purdy. Having the right bristles can make all the difference for us in the decorating business. A true decorator takes loving care of his tools because he or she depends on them. The brush is not only a tool, it’s the painter’s companion, and so it is a quite special relationship. A while ago we won a set of Picasso Brushes on Twitter from Coleman Trade Paints. I had been reading online that these paintbrushes are quick and accurate. From a purely superficial point of view, they sure look sharp with those orange filaments.

Using the Picasso Proforma

So this summer, Reza finally put those Purdys away to try out The Picasso Proforma Package. He’s been working with water-based paints, mainly Farrow & Ball and Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Emulsion. Reza has reluctantly admitted that he is very impressed by the Picasso’s precision. It is obvious that these are quality brushes. They hold the paint firmly, clean up very well and provide an excellent finish. If Reza used a less professional brush, it would have required a roller or some more sanding. But the Picasso’s made his work smooth as silk. Iseki sf 333 manual.

Sims 4 fighting mod. These are his new favourite go-to brushes. Reza has used them on 3 jobs and they still look really neat. Compare it to the cheap ones on the left, which were used by his apprentice for just one day – the difference is obvious.

Almost on par with Purdy

The Picasso Proforma are ALMOST on par with Purdy, but have one small, yet vital drawback…

If you compare the Picasso’s to other brushes, the handles are unusually long. Reza prefers to hold the brush very close to the bristle, and so not only can it be awkward – it makes the brush heavier. Reza’s hands were a little bit more tired than usual after each long day of painting.

But what is a tired hand, when the Picasso Proforma brushes cut in with precision and style?

Where to Buy

You can buy both Purdy and Picasso from a few different places. I know Dulux and Crown Decorating Centres sell both brands of paintbrush. If you prefer ordering your tools online, you may want to check out My Paintbrush where they have a huge range of paintbrushes at reasonable prices. You can even use discount code DF8 at the checkout for 8% off. CLICK HERE to visit My Paintbrush

The bottom line is always in the finish – and in this area Picasso definitely delivers.

Diana Voxerbrant is the managing director of Sultan Decorators Ltd and loves to force her painter husband to try out new tools and materials. She also writes and talks too much, you can follow her or Reza on Twitter for more banter and North London stories. We’re also on Instagram as The Sultans of Muswell Hilland Facebook too… or just read her previous post about decorator MYTHS that need to be demolished.

Love this brushSeptember 25, 2013
Reviewer: mark simpson from coxs creek, KY United States
Just received my new bushes, and used one of them for the first time yesterday, and I have to say, it was the best painting experience that I have ever had. (and I was using oil based paint) I read of those having bristle issues, but I used it all day long with the oil base, and never saw one bristle left behind. I have been a purdy brush man for a very long time, but may have been moved over to a new brush. Will have to see how it holds up over time, but love the way it applies the paint. Thanks, guys, for making a true brush for the professionals.

Reviewer: Clive Barry from Braintree, MA United States
Best brush I ever used, great for cutting straight lines. Works great for staining and polyurethane (oil based). Keeps its shape really well.

With what the guy saidNovember 29, 2012
Reviewer: matt Adams from Olympia, WA United States
There is a secret in the painting community, that these Proform Picasso will show you the power of a top quality brush, while making you not want to use anything but the Picasso line. These brushes need to go main stream. There worth every penny and then some.

ProForm Picasso 3-inch Sash BrushAugust 7, 2012
Reviewer: James Head from Baton Rouge, LA United States
This brush outperforms the equivalent Purdy & Wooster models based on its load capacity and chisel tip. The tip flagging is very sharp and retains its edge without flaring when light pressure is applied. This allows you to load a surface with more paint and then use the fine chisel tip for cutting in, resulting in significant time savings. The bristles are easy to clean and retain their shape after numerous cleanings. The Picasso brushes are my favorite for water-based paints. The bristles leave less brush marks than the Purdy or Woosters, yet they don't go limp like polyester brushes. They are also stiff enough to spread the new high VOC water-base paints like Ben Moore Aura or XIM's DTM paints without leaving excessive brush marks.
