Filbert Brushes

BrushesHigh quality finely balanced brushes are the most important tools of an artist's trade. Filberts are a compromise between flat and round brushes, being shaped to a slight curve at the tip to produce soft, tapered strokes. The curved tip allows to control the brush well, and is useful for fusing and softening edges. Filberts are one of the most useful brushes one can own, in fact with several different sizes, a painter can do just about anything. They are particularly useful in traditional figurative work as their shape allows the paint to be applied smoothly with very little brush strokes.

Filberts come in three sizes. The standard size is the middle, but they also come in short and long versions. The short length lends itself to controlled work, while the long filberts tend to be a more bold and very free style of painting. A range of general-purpose, these brushes are suitable for craft work and for use with oils and acrylics. The long filbert paint brush can also be useful for drawing-in the initial under painting. It's also good for blending. design requirements, together with many of those for glass painting, ceramic design and general craft work. Apart from general painting, blocking in and impasto development, filbert paint brush are ideal for scumbling and glazing and are usually recommended for portrait work.
BrushesBrushes used for acrylics have long handles that allow the artist to work at a distance from the canvas. Acrylic paints are more caustic than oils, so acrylic brushes are designed with synthetics and bristle. Acrylic brushes are usable in other mediums, particularly oils, while brushes designed specifically for oil painting and watercolors are unsuitable for acrylics. Artists can very effectively use glazing and layering techniques when using acrylic brushes.

Both natural and synthetic bristles can be used with acrylics, depending on the artist's preference. But, acrylics, being alkaline in nature, can be hard on natural hair brushes. Those made with high quality synthetics have excellent durability and offers excellent stiffness, snap and hair shape retention for maximum control. The brushes must be kept clean. If acrylic paint dries in a brush it is very hard to get out without using strong solvents that might damage the brush. Brushes are cleaned promptly by washing them with warm water and mild soap when finished painting.
