Painting beautiful pictures displays the sheer talent of the artist and this is done with the help of artist brushes. As different painters use different kinds of paints and brushes, there is no standard Paint Brush that can be considered as the best. Over a million varieties of paint brushes can be found these days.

Knowing Artist Brushes- Types and Varieties

Artist brushes can be either synthetic or natural hair brushes. The natural hair brushes are quite expensive compared to the synthetic hair brushes. The differentiating factor between natural and synthetic brushes is their fibre. While the natural hair paint brushes are made of the hair from animals like horse, pigs and so forth, the synthetic hair brushes are made of nylon.

Natural hair brushes: artist brushes made of natural hair is available in different varieties and styles. The most popular among them is the Kolinsky sable hair which is the most expensive and exquisite hair used for making paint brushes. These paint brushes are ideal for water color paints. Originated from the northern areas of Russia, this natural hair paint brush is one of its kinds.

Another natural hair brush includes the squirrel hair artist brushes which is extra soft and is quiet absorbent. It has the capacity to hold liquid and is suitable for painting with water colors, tempera and so forth. With long pointed tips, this painting brush is well worth its price.

Bristles are another variety of natural hair brush which has split ends at the tip of the brush. This helps to hold a lot of paint. These brushes are suitable for acrylic paints and heavy oil paints as these brushes are quite resilient.  

The pure sable red brush is yet another variety of natural hair brush. It is long lasting and can be used with acrylic paints too. But proper care must be taken to clean these brushes as they are soft and are susceptible to damage if not cleaned immediately after use.

Synthetic artist brushes: similar to the natural hair brushes, the synthetic brushes are relatively cheaper and available in a number of varieties. Ideal for use with water colors, these paint brushes are also used with acrylic paints. There are mainly two types of synthetic brushes- the orange synthetic brushes and the white synthetic brushes.

The white synthetic brushes are soft and available in different sizes and shapes. It is similar to the sable paint brushes and is used effectively for smooth blending and stroking purposes.

The orange synthetic brushes are the result of advanced technological improvements in the field of brush manufacturing. Soft and ideal for glazing, this brush has a strong firm point.

All these varieties of brushes are available with the artist brushes manufacturers listed in the online portals.
