Brushes & Knives


Although certain brushes are recommended for specific types of media, brush selection should be based on personal choice. Long handle brushes are generally good for oil and acrylic painting and short handled brushes for watercolor and gouache. Because acrylics dry quickly, they can damage the hairs on a natural brush more easily than a synthetic. Therefore, synthetic brushes can be recommended for acrylics. Bristle brushes are often recommended for the beginning oil painter because they are economical and hold a good deal of paint. Natural soft hair brushes absort water well and are good for watercolors. Helpful Hints on- Brush Shapes / Brush Filaments / Cleaning
