Trekell Paint Shapers Silicone Tool for Artist - Size 1.5"

Trekell Paint Shaper – Series 350 – 1.5"

The Trekell 1.5" Paint Shaper is a flexible silicone painting tool designed for controlled application and manipulation of paint. Its 1.5" width sits right in the middle of the series: wide enough to move paint across broader passages, while still giving you control along edges and in tighter spots.

Unlike a traditional brush, the silicone head does not absorb paint. Instead, it moves color across the surface, allowing you to spread, push, pull, smooth, blend, shape, or remove wet paint. Use the flat face for smooth applications, the edge for more defined marks, or the corners for working in tighter areas.

The 1.5" size is the most versatile, all around choice in the series, and works well for blending, spreading, and shaping on small to medium paintings.

What Is a 1.5" Paint Shaper Best For?

The 1.5" Paint Shaper sits between the 1" and 2" sizes, so it covers more ground than the 1" while staying easier to control than the 2". Use it to spread and smooth medium areas of paint, blend adjacent passages, create defined edges, manipulate thicker paint, carve into wet paint, or remove areas of color.

Changing the angle and pressure of the silicone head changes the mark it creates, allowing you to move between broad applications with the flat face and more controlled work with the edges and corners.

Care

Wipe the silicone head clean promptly after use. Avoid allowing paint or mediums to build up around the base of the silicone head or ferrule.
