Long Handle or Short Handle Paint Brushes?

Long handle brushes are more suitable for use working at an easel, where the artist will be standing away from the painting. 

Short hair brushes are more suitable for artworks requiring close-up attention, as they are easier to manoeuvre than brushes with a long handle.

How to choose the right paint brush set?

Painters brushes come in all shapes and sizes and knowing which brush to use with which paint is an important step in creating great paintings.


Differences between Synthetic and Natural Hair Paint Brushes:

  • Natural hair bristles tend to hold more paint than synthetics and release paint more consistently. This is particularly relevant to watercolour painters.

  • Natural hairs require more maintenance than synthetic brushes.

  • When starting out, synthetic brushes are recommended due to their lower maintenance and cost. Replace with natural hair brushes as these wear out.

  • Natural bristles tend to maintain their shape if maintained correctly. Stray hairs can develop in synthetic bristles, but these can easily be removed with scissors.

  • Continual cleaning of synthetic brushes with mineral turpentine can cause the bristles to degrade over time.
