Brushes for Oil Painting: Popular Questions from Artists

At Jackson’s, we offer an extensive range of oil paintbrushes for every artist, from professionals to beginners. Whether you're after individual brushes or complete oil paintbrush sets, our collection features both natural and synthetic hair options in a variety of shapes and sizes.


Oil painting brushes are specially designed to handle the viscosity and drying time of oil paint. They are typically made with stiffer bristles, such as hog hair, or high quality synthetic filaments, which can move thicker paint across canvas or board with ease.

Oil brushes are made using durable handles and ferrules to withstand frequent cleaning with solvents.


Artists use specialised brushes for oil painting because they offer unmatched control across a range of techniques. Using the right brush for oil paint makes the process more intuitive and expressive.


‘Artist brushes are personal to each artist, and the choice of brush can greatly affect the work created. Like any craftsman, the tools we use, how they’re used, cleaned, made, etc., make each artist different. The personal needs of the artist, as well as the functionality of the brush chosen, can dictate the work created.’

- Toby Gawler, ‘Review of Da Vinci Colineo Synthetic Oil Brushes’
