The Right Brushes for Your Medium
Oil paint is a flexible medium that stays wet for a while, allowing you to pause your work and return later to continue it. The paint creates smooth blends for subtle shifts of color and the ability to tweak your work. The thickness of this paint allows you to create texture and dimension in your pieces.
These unique qualities call for a special brush. Oil painting brushes must be sturdy and resilient to handle the thick paint. They must hold their shape well and have a construction that allows for subtle transitions with long bristles. Despite being sturdy, oil brushes enable you to paint with less pressure to layer colors carefully.
Our Selection of Brushes
At Trekell, we understand the requirements of your medium and have oil paintbrush sets to suit your needs. We have brushes with natural and synthetic hair. Natural hair works well for oil, holding more paint and creating smooth strokes. Synthetic hair brushes provide consistency and can often handle multiple media if you want to try different paints.
Our brush selection includes options in various shapes, like:
- Round
- Flat
- Filbert
- Fan
- Bright
- Angled
- Rigger
- Script
- Cat's tongue
- Dagger
- Grainer
- Wash
Each shape allows for a particular application, from creating smooth lines and laying paint over large areas to blending and filling in small details. We offer paintbrushes for oil painting in various sizes, widths and lengths. Long-handled brushes work well for painting at a distance, like on an easel, while short-handled brushes suit up-close work and precise control. Our brushes feature excellent shape retention and snap, giving you precision control for a high-quality result.
