Artist Brushes

Artist Paint Brushes for Watercolour, Acrylic & Oil Painting:

Choose artist brushes by shape, fibre and painting medium with a range covering fine detail work through to broad washes and expressive brushwork. The collection includes round, flat, filbert, fan, liner, dagger and Hake brushes, with synthetic and natural/synthetic blend options alongside traditional hog bristle styles.

Round, Flat & Detail Artist Brushes:

Round brushes are represented in very fine sizes such as 000, 00 and 0 through to larger options, making them useful when control and precision are important. The range includes Golden Nylon, Sablinsky, synthetic and imitation mongoose round brushes, as well as Haydn Fitch Trade round brushes in multiple sizes.

Flat brushes provide a broader edge for applying paint, with Haydn Fitch Trade, Art Extra, Golden Nylon and hog bristle options represented. Specialist shapes include filbert brushes with rounded edges, fan brushes, dagger brushes and Linemaster liner brushes for more specific painting techniques.

Synthetic, Hog Bristle & Blended Brushes:

Brush fibres vary across the collection. Golden Sable synthetic brushes offer good colour-carrying capacity and are designed for watercolour, gouache, inks and flow acrylics. Sablinsky brushes use a multi-filament synthetic blend designed to resemble sable, with good point, spring and colour capacity for watercolour work.

The collection also includes fine synthetic imitation mongoose brushes suitable for watercolour, acrylic and oil painting, plus Linemaster brushes combining sable and synthetic hair. For artists looking for firmer natural bristles, 1000 Series hog bristle brushes are available in flat, filbert and fan shapes.

Hake & Wider Artist Brushes:

Hake brushes provide significantly wider working surfaces, with 1-inch (24mm) and 2-inch (48mm) options represented. These complement the smaller detail brushes and provide another choice when working across larger areas.

Choosing the Right Artist Brush:

Start with your painting medium, then select the brush shape and size for the marks you want to create. Round and liner brushes suit precise work and fine lines, flats provide defined broader strokes, filberts combine a flatter body with a rounded edge, and fan brushes offer a distinctive spread of bristles. Also check whether you prefer synthetic fibres, a blended brush or traditional hog bristle for your particular technique.
