Fan Brushes

A fan brush spreads its hairs into a fan shape, so it touches the paint at many light points at once. It blends two colours softly into each other, and one pass leaves many fine lines together: grasses, branches, hair, fur.

A fan brush does two jobs. The first is soft blending: passed dry and light over fresh colour, it melts the border between two tones without leaving a mark of its own. The second is texture: the open hairs leave many fine lines in a single pass, the fastest way to paint grasses, branches, hair, fur, and waves.

The hair sets the character. Soft synthetics and natural hair blend tones discreetly, in oil, acrylic, and watercolour. Stiffer hog bristle leaves a bolder, textured mark in heavy paint.

Art & Colour carries fan brushes in natural hair and synthetics, in a range of sizes.
