(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, March 11, 2016 ) New York, New York -- Art Supply retailer Hand Touched Crafts announced today that they have added a new video to their brand’s Facebook page. The video called, ‘Introducing the Humane Art Set', is a preview of Hand Touched Crafts newest set of fine art paintbrushes.

The 10 pc Humane Art Set is a set of synthetic sable fine art paintbrushes that come in a zipped artist storage case. Hand Touched Crafts Humane Art Range of brushes are made by hand in the United States from high quality components that are carefully selected from within the US and overseas. The Humane Art range will to appeal to artists who want to paint with quality paintbrushes and are concerned about animal welfare.
The synthetic brush fiber used in the Humane Art Range closely resembles the look and quality of natural sable brush hair. Like high-end natural sable paintbrushes, Humane Art synthetic sable brushes have an authentic snap and hold a point. Not only is the synthetic fiber less expensive but it also has an added bonus of being stronger and more durable.
Explaining the choice of synthetic fiber in Humane Art paintbrushes Ms Tammy Hill from Hand Touched Crafts said, "Natural sable has long been prized by watercolor artists because of its capacity to hold a generous amount of watercolor, enabling the artist to create long fluid brush strokes, and lay down larger washes of paint. The species of Martin Weasel used to provide the sable paintbrush hair is harvested from wild animals; this is neither desirable or sustainable. With the advent of increasingly sophisticated synthetic fiber, it is now possible to manufacture quality fine art paintbrushes that mimic the desirable traits in animal hair paintbrushes. This fits comfortably with Hand Touched Crafts philosophy that art does not need to cost the life of an animal."
The 10 pc Humane Art Set featured in the Facebook video contains an assortment of small to medium sized short-handled paintbrushes that are suitable for detailed and precision painting. Paintbrushes included in the set are; cat tongue, round, shader, liner, fan, angle brushes, as well as a #14-wash brush. The zipped storage case has plenty of spare space to add more brushes to the collection or store favorite sketching and watercolor pencils.
