Oil Brushes

The choice of oil brushes will be fundamental to the oil painting techniques you apply later. Therefore, there are a number of factors you need to consider when buying them.

What type of brushes are used for oil painting?

Oil brush guide

There are several types of oil brushes, which we can mainly differentiate by:
The type of bristles and fibres, which can be natural or synthetic.

Their shape: round, flat, angular, pointed, filbert, fan, etc.

The long or short handle and the technique used: glazing, scumbling, impasto, details, special effects, etc.

Equally important is their preservation and care; it is recommended to use products that do not damage them and a specific brush cleaner for oil painting, as well as other related products such as mediums, pigments and tools.
