What Are Artists’ Brushes?

Art paintbrushes are essential tools used by artists to apply paint to surfaces. They come in different shapes, sizes, and materials, each suited for specific techniques and effects. The bristles can be made from natural or synthetic fibres, or a mix. Brush handles also vary in length and material. Artists select brushes based on the medium they’re using, whether it's oil, acrylic or watercolour, and the desired texture or detail in their work.

Art Brushes | Brushes for Painting

Shop our range of oil paintbrushes, watercolour brushes, and acrylic paintbrushes, crafted for precision and performance across all techniques. You can also explore brushes for priming and varnishing, plus specialist Chinese brushes.

Our brushes are designed for different painting mediums, as each type of paint requires a specific kind of brush. Bear in mind that the thinner the paint, the softer the brush and the greater the need for good liquid holding capacity. Thicker paints work best with stiffer hairs that provide control and texture.
