Why choose natural hair paint brushes?
Natural hair brushes offer a range of benefits that make them an invaluable asset for any artist’s arsenal. These paint brushes are renowned for their ability to hold a significant amount of paint, allowing for longer, smoother strokes. This is particularly advantageous for creating detailed and nuanced artwork. The natural hairs also provide a softer, more flexible bristle, which adapts beautifully to the canvas.
Furthermore, natural hair brushes are versatile, enabling artists to achieve a variety of effects, from fine lines to broad washes. Whether you're working with watercolours, oils, or acrylics, these brushes enhance your ability to express your creativity with precision and finesse.
Types of natural hair brushes
When selecting natural hair paint brushes, it’s essential to understand the various types available and their unique characteristics. Each type of natural hair offers distinct advantages and caters to different artistic needs.
Sable Brushes: With luxurious softness and excellent spring, sable brushes are a favourite among watercolour artists. The fine tip and ability to hold a substantial amount of water and pigment make them perfect for delicate details and smooth washes.
Squirrel Brushes: Incredibly soft and absorbent, ideal for broad, sweeping strokes and fluid, expressive painting. A squirrel hair paint brush is often used for watercolours and inks due to their capacity to hold a large amount of liquid.
Hog Brushes: Made from the coarse hair of hogs, these brushes are exceptionally durable and stiff, making them suitable for thick paint applications and heavy textures. Hog brushes are particularly popular for oil painting, providing the strength needed to move dense paint.
Caring for your natural hair paint brushes
To ensure your natural hair paint brushes maintain their quality and longevity, proper care is essential. Here are some tips to keep your brushes in top condition:
-
Clean Thoroughly: After each use, clean your paint brushes with the appropriate solvent. For watercolours, use clean water. For oils, use a gentle paint brush cleaner or mild soap. Always avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the natural hairs.
-
Shape the Bristles: Gently reshape the bristles to their original form while the paint brush is still damp. This helps maintain its performance and precision.
-
Dry Flat: Lay your paint brushes flat to dry, ensuring the bristles are not distorted. Avoid standing them upright while wet, as water can seep into the ferrule, causing the handle to swell and the hairs to loosen.
-
Store Properly: Once dry, store your natural hair brushes in a cool, dry place. Use a brush holder or wrap to protect the bristles from dust and damage.
By following these simple steps, your natural hair brushes will continue to provide exceptional performance, allowing you to create beautiful artwork for years to come.
