Faux Finish Brushes and Tools


Faux is a French word that means “false,” but the gorgeous finishes that can be accomplished with faux finish tools are anything but! Faux finishing has been practiced for centuries as a way to create elegant finishes on walls, plaster details, furniture, and other surfaces without the expense of using real materials such as marble, leather, gold, or wood. Today’s artisans continue to create finishes that look like marble, crackled paint, wood grain, leather, parchment, and more with paints, glazes, faux finish painting brushes, and faux painting tools.


Blick offers a wide range of synthetic and natural brushes, sponges, blades, and more for painting, gilding, stenciling, stippling, trompe l’oeil, and murals. Find paddle brushes, blender brushes, oversize brushes, and natural and synthetic mottler brushes, plus sponges and texture tools that can also be used with wet plaster and clay. These faux finish tools are designed for use with oils, acrylics, watercolors, gesso, glazes, and stains. Access our Brush Charts for more information on types of paintbrushes, including brush shapes, fiber types, and measurements.
