Using the right art brushes for the job can be as satisfying as making the final stroke on your latest project. There’s a simple pleasure that comes when you have a creative idea and know you have the right array of art paint brushes to achieve your vision. Art brushes come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for a specific medium to help artists add intricate detailing or expansive blending and layering.

At ArtStore Online, we proudly feature a curated selection of art paint brushes from globally recognised brands, such as Art Basics, Art Spectrum, Da Vinci, Derivan, Golden, Matisse, NAM, Raphael, Royal Langnickel, Roymac, Winsor & Newton and more. Whether you are an avid painter, illustrator or a complete beginner, we strive to help you find art and craft supplies that can elevate your painting experience, no matter your skill level.

What are the different types of art paint brushes?

Art brushes come in various sizes and designs, each suited for a specific purpose. The most common brush shapes and styles include:

Flat: Best suited for painting large, flat surfaces.
Round: Perfect for painting smaller areas and getting into tight spaces.
Angled: Allows for versatile line work to create both fine details and broader strokes.
Blender: Used for blending two colours together.
Detail: Just what you need when painting fine lines and tiny brushstrokes.
Fan: Create textural effects like blending, smoothing, and creating foliage in landscape painting.
Cat's Tongue: Allows for brushstrokes that don't leave lines along the outer edges of the filament.

Bright: Offers shorter, stiffer bristles for better control over thicker paints.
Mop: Good for applying washes or softening and blending visual elements.
Filbert: Works well for creating softly rounded lines and detailing.
Rigger: Favoured for intricate linear work like cross-hatching or fine details.
Spalter: Often used for broad strokes and softening applications rather than fine detail work.

Acrylic art paint brushes
Specifically designed to be able to pick up and hold onto large amounts of paint, which makes them ideal for painting thick layers.

Watercolour art brushes
Made with both natural and synthetic bristles, they’re able to hold a large amount of water without losing their shape, giving you more control over your paintbrush when working with watercolours.

Oil-based art paint brushes
Known for their durability while giving the artist the ability to create rich textures, blend colours, and add intricate details to paintings. They’re designed to withstand heavy use and maintain their shape for longer.

Aqua art brushes
Designed for water-based painting techniques, they feature built-in water reservoirs that allow artists to control the flow of water onto their painting surface, eliminating the need for a separate water container.

What materials are used in art paint brushes?

Synthetic: Made from nylon or polyester, they’re a versatile and practical choice for artists. The smoother texture allows for efficient paint release, making them easy to clean.

Natural: Typically crafted from animal hairs, they’re better at maintaining their intended shape after multiple uses. They can be more challenging to clean due to the porous texture of the hair.

Nylon/Polyester Blend: Combining the best qualities of nylon and polyester, they work well with both water-based and oil-based mediums and are easier to clean than natural bristles.

Sponge: Not necessarily a bristle for a brush, sponges work best with water-based mediums and can be useful for when creating textured surfaces or applying washes.

How to choose art paint brushes for beginners.

Starting something for the first time or picking it back up after a long break can be daunting when faced with the vast selection. It’s generally best to start with a basic paint brush set that includes a variety of sizes and shapes, giving you a good foundation to work with as you experiment with different techniques. Once you have a feel for what you like, you can then start exploring more specialised options.

Store in a cool, dry place.
Avoid leaving paint brushes in water for extended periods of time.
Clean paint brushes after each use with soap and water (or paint thinner for oil-based paints).
Reshape the bristles with your fingers as you clean.
Dry them thoroughly before storing.
If they become dried out, soak in warm water for a few minutes before using again.
