1. Know Your Medium
Watercolor: Go for soft, absorbent brushes (sable or synthetic squirrel).
Acrylic: Use firm synthetic bristles to handle viscosity.
Oil: Choose natural bristle or stiff synthetic brushes for control.
2. Understand Brush Shape & Size
Use smaller brushes for detailed work, larger flat brushes for broader areas.
Experiment with fan and filbert brushes for texture and blending.
3. Prioritize Handle Comfort
Long handles are ideal for easel work.
Short handles suit table work or miniature painting.
Proper care extends the life of your painting brush:
Do:
Clean brushes immediately after use.
Use brush soap or mild detergent.
Reshape bristles after rinsing.
Store vertically, bristles up.
Don’t:
Let paint dry in bristles.
Soak handles in water.
Store in sealed containers while damp.
Q1: Are your brushes suitable for beginners?
Yes. We offer beginner-friendly packs that include a variety of brush shapes and sizes with guides to help newcomers get started.
Q2: Do you offer cruelty-free brush options?
Absolutely. Our synthetic brush collections are 100% vegan and mimic the performance of natural hair.
Q3: How do I know when to replace my brush?
Look for frayed bristles, shedding, or loss of shape. If cleaning doesn’t restore function, it’s time for a new brush.
Q4: Can I use one brush across all mediums?
Technically yes, but using brushes designed for specific mediums preserves both the brush and the artwork quality.

Our Liner Brush Set is ideal for lettering, fine outlines, and intricate details.
