Kids' and Classroom Watercolor Brushes


Watercolor brushes for kids are designed for the youngest artists, so they are often made from child-friendly materials that stand up to repeated use and prolonged soaking in water and watercolor paints. Some kids paintbrushes also have larger handles for a secure grip, or colorful brush fibers and handles that make the painting experience as fun as it is educational. For more advanced students, natural brushes made from sable, ox, camel, pony, and other natural hair offer a wonderful introduction to watercolor painting. Although these brushes may be more expensive than their synthetic counterparts, they not only help students learn watercolor techniques but also teach them how to care for a fine watercolor brush — an important lesson for students of all ages and skill levels.


Available in taklon, nylon, faux camel, and natural/synthetic fiber blends, synthetic paintbrushes are a good choice for classrooms and other large-group learning environments not only because they mimic the working properties of their natural counterparts, but because they can be purchased for a lower price. Shop Blick for classroom assortments, value packs, school packs, and watercolor brush canisters that give art educators and students a range of sizes and shapes at budget-friendly prices.


Camel Hair does not come from camels at all. It is found in watercolor and lettering brushes and usually is made of squirrel, goat, ox, pony or a blend of several hairs, depending on the desired softness and intended cost of the brush.
