Description
Always use natural haired brushes with encaustic wax painting.
Hake hair brushes are my favourite, but I have other much loved brushes including hog hair, natural bristle, and some 30 year old squirrel brushes (I think!), that have just gone on forever!!
The golden rule is, never use synthetic brushes… they will turn up their toes and frizzle when exposed to the heat!
I especially like to use short handled brushes, they take up less room on your hotplate… brushes around this length are great.
Have fun choosing, and let me know when you’ve found your perfect choice.
