Product details
A paintbrush is a tool used to apply paint, ink, or other types of fluid to a surface.
A paintbrush is made of four main parts:
Bristles:
The bristles are the part of the brush that holds the paint.
They can be made of natural materials, such as hog hair, sable, or ox hair, or synthetic materials, such as nylon or polyester.
The type of bristles used will depend on the type of paint being used. For example, natural bristles are best for oil paints/watercolours, while synthetic bristles are best for acrylic/gouache & watercolour paints.
Ferrule:
The ferrule is the metal band that holds the bristles in place. It is usually made of brass or steel.
Handle:
The handle is the part of the brush that you hold onto. It is usually made of wood or plastic.
Crimp:
The crimp is the small metal piece that secures the ferrule to the handle.

What are Liner Brushes?
Liner brushes are a type of brush with a long, thin ferrule and long, pointed bristles.
They are typically made of sable or synthetic hair, and are used for fine detail work, such as adding highlights, creating small dots, or painting eyes.
The long, thin ferrule of a liner brush allows for precise application of paint.
BRUSH CARE:
Here are some tips to remember while using the paintbrushes:
Hold the brush with a light grip.
Apply paint to the surface in a smooth, even motion.
Don't overload the brush with paint.
Clean your brush often to prevent the paint from drying on the bristles.
Clean your brushes immediately after each use.
Use warm water and mild soap to clean the bristles.
Rinse the brushes thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Shape the bristles while the brush is still wet.
Allow the brushes to air dry completely.
Store your brushes in a cool, dry place.
By following these tips, you can extend the life of your paintbrushes and keep them in good condition.
Experiment with different types of brushes and techniques to find what works best for you.
