About our oil colour brushes
Choosing the right brush is important and at Winsor & Newton, we have 150 years of brush making experience which has allowed us to create a number of brushes that are ideal for oil colour painting.
When choosing a brush to use for oil colour, you need to think about a brush with hair that is able to move thick, viscous colour e.g. Hog hair. However, if you plan to use thinners to alter the properties of the colour you will then need to consider using another type of hair e.g. Sable hair.
Below you will find a selection of brushes we recommend for oil colour, but if you need help in selecting the right brush and want to find out more about the different types of oil colour brush, then see How to choose an Oil Colour Brush.
