Brushes

The range of brushes available in the market place is huge. For the inexperienced it is all too easy to select a completely inappropriate set of brushes. 

The range of brushes we supply have been chosen for durability, suitability and economy.  The needs of children, adults and artists have been taken into consideration when selecting our range.  Country Love Crafts sell brushes individually or in retail packs.  We also sell brush packs (some made in-house), carry cases and wallets.  There are different brush handle styles (soft grip, triangular, wood or acrylic) and an assortment of brush hair (squirrel, camel, sable, fitch, taklon and nylon).

Brush Uses:

• Fan brushes are great for applying a good amount of colour or glaze, for blending colours and for stippling and graining effects.  
• Flat and shader brushes are good for design work. A flat paint brush provides lots of colour capacity and easy manoeuvrability. Used for bold, sweeping strokes, or on edge for fine lines.
• Liner brushes are good for lines, outlining, detail and precision work.
• Mop brushes are good for banding, applying glaze and/or good amounts of colour.
• Round brushes are a versatile brush suitable for most design work and painting

Top Tips:

• No matter what quality of brush you acquire it is very important to look after them as carefully as you can.  Wash them out after use with a gentle detergent and stand them on their handles, not on their brush heads. 
• Clean the brushes in a specialist cleaning product from time to time to remove paint from the ferrules (brush joint) ...we stock Brush Cleaner. 
• Try to keep a separate set of brushes for adults, they will appreciate this.  A good idea is to "spot" adult brush handles with a bright nail varnish so they can be readily identified.
• Encourage children not to stab the table with their brushes or chew the bristles!!
