Encaustic Brushes


Encaustic brushes are used to apply molten encaustic paints to absorbent surfaces to create encaustic paintings. Generally made from natural fibers, the brushes used must be heat-resistant and durable to resist melting and scorching on heated surfaces. Bristle and fitch/black sable brushes used for oil paints work well with encaustic paints, and are available in shapes that include bright, fan, mop, round, lunar mop, and others.


The maker of R&F encaustic paints has developed a selection of R&F encaustic brushes made from natural bristle and goat hair that are designed especially for use with encaustic paints. Shop Blick for other tools for encaustic painting, including encaustic paints, heat guns, hot plates, and cold steel tools.
