Brushes for Encaustic & Cold Wax

Always select natural hair brushes for encaustic painting. Different hairs will produce different brush strokes. Small natural haired round, liner, wash, angular and fan brushes work in a vertical easel painting style. Natural chip and hake brushes work well when applying larger amounts of paint in a table-top horizontal fashion.

 

Brushes that are full and open bristled handle cold wax and other media well.
