About our acrylic colour brushes...
Choosing the right brush is important and at Winsor & Newton, we have over 150 years of brush making experience. It is this experience which helps us to provide a number of brushes that are ideal for acrylic painting.
Acrylic colour can be used in viscous form or in a thinned down form, similar to (though not exactly comparable to) water colour. The brush you select will depend on the style and technique you use and whether you need to move full bodied colour or control flowing colour.
Below you will find a selection of brushes which are suitable for acrylic painting. However, if you need a little more help and would like to understand the different properties of each brush, see How to choose an Acrylic Colour Brush.
