Arteza® Brushes

Paint brushes are essential tools in any artist’s kit, coming in a variety of sizes, shapes, and bristle types to help create your best work. Heavy-bodied acrylics and oils or softer watercolors and gouache all benefit from the right brush, and this collection has options to fit any style.

 

Synthetic brushes made from materials like polyester or nylon are usually best for acrylics. They are durable and handle thicker paint well. Natural hair brushes can also be used, but synthetic bristles move acrylic paint more efficiently across the surface.

 

Brush numbers indicate the size of the bristles. This could mean length, width, or thickness, but there is no universal standard. Generally, smaller numbers mean thinner, finer bristles, though sizes vary between brands.

 

Natural hair brushes, like sable, work well with watercolors because they hold water and offer great control. Common shapes include round, flat, filbert, and fan. Synthetic brushes can work too, but they hold less water and require more frequent dipping. Refillable paint brush pens are another helpful option for watercolor techniques.

 

Try different brushes to find the best fit for your painting style. From fine detail brushes to large ones for broad strokes, explore this collection to find the ideal brush for your artistic creations.
