Brushes for oil paints
Oil painting brushes are built for thick paint: stiff hog bristle and firm synthetics that push heavy colour across the canvas, and softer hair for blending and detail. The main shapes are round, flat, bright, filbert, and fan, most on long handles made for working at the easel.

Oil painting brushes are built around one fact: oil paint is thick, and moving it takes a stiff brush.
Hog bristle is the traditional answer. Each bristle ends in naturally split tips that load a full body of paint and set it down with a visible stroke, and the stiffness stands up to impasto, scumbling, and scrubbing into the weave. Modern synthetics match that firmness, keep their shape longer, and clean up faster. Softer hair, sable and its synthetic versions, does the opposite work: thin layers, glazes, blending, and detail.
The shapes divide the labour. A flat covers ground and cuts sharp edges. A bright, the short-haired flat, pushes thick paint with the most control. A filbert’s rounded tip turns a stroke with a soft edge, which makes it the shape many painters use for almost everything. Rounds handle line and detail, and a fan blends or breaks a stroke into texture. The long handles are deliberate: oil painting is done standing, at a distance that keeps the whole canvas in view.
Art & Colour carries oil painting brushes in bristle, soft hair, and synthetic, across every shape and size.
