Brushes
A quality brush is the most important tool available to an artist.
We stock a wide range of brushes suitable for a broad spectrum of users, from beginners through to professionals.
Although any brush can be used for any purpose, certain brushes are better suited to particular mediums.
For example, sable brushes are well suited to watercolours. Hog brushes are traditionally used with oils. And synthetic brushes work very well with acrylics.
We offer brush sets for these purposes, with a selection of shapes and sizes to help get you started.
